My first color stranded sweater.
Knit lo, these many years ago (okay, maybe ten). It's a Chainmail sweater from "Knitter's Almanac". I used Brown Sheep Naturespun sport in I know not what colors... two shades of orange, magenta, purple, and two shades of slate blue. (Sounds like a train wreck, doesn't it?) At any rate, it was a great learning experience and got me addicted to stranded color knitting, and I thought you guys would get a kick out of it.

I love the color combination. The slate blue really balances the orange and reds. Beautiful sweater!

Both the pattern and the color combination are beautiful. Wow.

Gorgeous! Is that the Difficult Sweater (not really) from Knitter's Almanac? The stitch pattern kind of reminded me of that...

Yup, that's the one!
I wasn't really brave to try it - I was too dumb about stranded color knitting to realize it was hard, and just dug in. Haha.

That's the way to do it! The sweater is gorgeous, and reinforces the notion that I should try one of those someday...
