Before I went on vacation I went into a mad frenzy to figure out a knitting project to bring with me. I simply cannot travel without a good book and a knitting project! So I scoured Ravelry for something to knit and found Color Affection. I have been kind-of itching to make some sort of a shawl/wrap type thing but have not been very excited by the lacey ones I have seen. Color Affection fits the bill! I love the asymmetrical look to the stripes.
I must say that the never-ending garter stitches get really old, especially in the second section, which has the two colors of stripes. One stripe alone is about a zillion stitches long, so I don't make much progress when I sit down to knit!
However, like I said, it is a work in progress and I'll update you when I am further along! In case you are interested, I am using Knitpicks Comfy Fingering yarn. I am allergic to wool (a downright terrible allergy for someone who knits) so it is always a challenge for me to find substitute yarns. I am enjoying the Comfy yarn, though. It is soft and easy to work. I don't usually choose yarns so close in color to ones on a pattern, but it worked out that way this time!
It's so great to have a knitting project again!
