My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.

It's a two-color Honey Cowl in sock yarn on some #4 needles. I started it back in February 2020 and have been knitting it off and on for 4 years. It's with light blue and pastel rainbow yarns so it's easy to see, much easier than the navy blue socks I've been trying to knit on since last January. This gauge is also much looser so it's been easier on my forearm tendons.
I've been so stressed out lately and knitting was always my meditative outlet, but I damaged my extensor tendons in 2019 and have been severely limited in knitting time since. Fingers crossed I can keep up a few minutes a day for a while.
ooh that's a gorgeous pattern! how are you doing the colors? alternating rows? may I ask what it looks like?
I just picked up two balls of different colored Rowan Tweed DK at a yarn store moving sale (at a steep discount) and this looks like a lovely use for them!
Alternating each row-- the solid yarn is the knit row, and the purl/slip row is the variegated yarn. Cast on an odd # of stitches and you won't have to worry about moving the row start. I need to get an updated photo, but here it is from 2020:
It's a very versatile pattern and I bet Rowan Tweed DK would be great for it!
