I'd put this cowl firmly in the category of "low pressure colorwork that looks more impressive than it should" and as you know, I do so love things that look harder than they are.
The doubly-thick layer of Malabrigo Merino is soooo lush, and the color combos are endless (I hit up my fave4ever, Frank Ochre, and his pals Sauterne, Natural, and Pearl. I love how lavender the Pearl looks next to those yellows! Colors are magical!)

Alex! It's my favorite! I'm so mad that I didn't design it first, but if it had to be someone else I'm so glad that it was you.
ReplyDeleteMwahaha! I feel that way about String Theory, we're even now ;-)
DeleteAs always, the most clever ideas are simple. I love the elegant geometry and the color combination!
ReplyDeleteThank you :-)
DeleteThis is so fun! I haven't jumped far into colorwork yet but this looks like a nice place to start.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a great place to start- just 2 colors per row and the floats aren't very long at all :-)
DeleteThis is great! I love me a good chevron and this is great way to play around with different color combinations. Maybe some NEONS & neutrals :)
ReplyDeleteYES. IT IS NEON TIME.
DeleteActually if I'd had neon Mal when I started this it probably would've made it in, but this guy's been sitting around unblocked for months.
DeleteI really love the subtle progression of color in this - very cool!
