Colour me grey...
This is my first attempt at colour knitting. The swatch is part of a motif I'm thinking of for a project that is currently percolating in my mind. It has come out pretty much how I wanted it to though I am not sure whether or not I should use a stronger colour, I've used light and dark grey for this one and the contrast is not as strong as I had envisaged.
Rianna is coming along nicely. I have finished the front and working on the back right now. The part above the ribbing came out a bit wider than I wanted it to and I'm not sure what the overall effect will be, but I have pinned it up and the contrast of the tight rib and the slightly voluminous top half sort of complement each other as the top 'spills' over the rib. I hope I'm still saying that when the back's finished as I really do like how Rianna is progressing at the moment and looking forward to wearing her.
Well this baby isn't going to knit herself so it's head down and back to clicking for me.

Rianna is looking good!
Your first attempt at color knitting is great! Rianna is really coming along nicely.
Wow, you are just on a creative roll!! I love the motif, and Rianna is looking gorgeous!!
Oh, I like that very much!
I think the sawtch motif looks pretty good, but I do understand waht you mean. How about reversing the colors? Making the background dark grey and the motif light grey. That might give it the pop that you're looking for.
Rianna is coming along nicely. I can't wait to see the finished product. The color is lovely.
Did you ever finish this. Would love to see it.
