HAHAHAHA I always wondered how they made his new clothes!
That was a good one, Ingrid 
!!
I, too, have all sorts of color (mosaic, fairisle, intarsia, u name it) work & other things planned … for after I finish my current project list… BUT I did cast on in a color that I’ve never used before :happydance: :happydance: I say that & when my new A Knitting Glossary DVD that my 
sweetums ordered for my for my bday gets here…there’s no telling what I will do!! 4 hours of EZ on dvd…just WOW!!! And a friend of mine that is a good friend of Meg Swansen tells me that all of EZ’s videos are going to be put on dvd in 2006 :cheering: :cheering: :cheering: :cheering:
I am making scarves with 5 strands of eyelash yarn (each a different color) and using size 17 needles. They will be my “Fiesta” Long and Skinny scarves.
I also just started my Rogue Hoodie in KP Merino Honey colored yarn. :cheering:
Ok this is cheating, so don’t worry, I’ll work on something else for this KAL…but here’s a green hat I just finished!!! It fits in November’s KAL too, b/c it was the first time I knitted using the stranding method for the different colors. I learned how to knit English style with this hat.
So what you’re saying is pretty much anything goes. 
I’ve never seen clear yarn… might make an interesting sweater and it would certainly draw attention. :roflhard: :roflhard:[/quote]

Hmm… I’ll participate. 
I’m double knitting a off white and an olive green hot pad for my mom.
And knitting everyone in my family something… will have to take pictures of my neices booties that I am going to make for her
ahhh such fun knitting :XX:
I’ve been meaning to learn how to add color with a technique such as using a color chart, and your color challenge seems like a good time to try! Anybody have a suggestion for a first, easier project for learning how to knit with color? A hat maybe? Hmmm 
Holly
Gosh, you are so fortunate! It’s only like in the 70s here…
I really want to get in on this challenge… I only hope I have the time :shock:
And Holly, try doing a mosaic knitted hat, it’s a really simple technique with hardly any weaving in of the ends! I’m going to try this technique again soon.
I’m in if I can combine last month’s challenge with this month’s challenge. The hat I am knitting (for me for the first time) is black with chunks of bright color. Beautiful!! I chose the perfect yarn for it since I haven’t ever found any yarn that was me before! (see 2 firsts )
I cast on for socks last night using Knitpicks Simple Stripes in Tropics. That’s probably the most colorful yarn I’ve used, not that it’s very wintery.
[color=darkblue]This will be a FIRST for me. I’m going to do a RED APPLE dishcloth.

great! all the projects sound fantastic!
I lost the ******ing cord to connect my *******ing camera to the ******* computer, so I can’t take a picture of my nephew’s uber-ugly hat! But it’s done, in 5 hideous colors of WOTA. (colors that look nice in general, just not together! but he picked them!)
well, no that’s a lie. I can take the picture, I just can’t show it to you all. yet!
Hmm… would using a multi-colored yarn be allowed? Or do we have to do color changes?
[color=red]I changed my mind already. LOL, I MIGHT make the three crosses dishcloth in red for the blood of Christ and white trim for his purity knittingknonsense.com OR do a dishcloth with musical notes on it for all the great Christmas music. knittingknonsense.com OR maybe a fish for Christ feeding the fish in green.

Here’s some more inspiration for you…

I think I’m going to try the Bulls Eye Square today at the YA-YA meeting.
Ok I am annoyed. I finished the hat. (November-December project?) It was made with smaller yarn than I used on my mother’s, but it is bigger :?? The ribbing is also not stretchy. I have never had this problem before. I am going to try sewing the ribbing with elastic thread to make it stretchy and I will let you know if it came out better.
Well, I finally bit the bullet and did colorwork that required more than two colors. :shock: I’m skeered of weaving in all those freakin’ ends…but it’s off the needles!
The bottom pattern was supposed to be repeated above the hearts but that would have mede for one freakishly tall hat. And I really wish I’d done a roll-brim instead of ribbing…but oh well…all in all it wasn’t that painful, and I’ll let it out of the house.
Ok the hat is now a ball of yarn. My youngest daughter said that it looked like a shower cap (pretty much echoing my thoughts). I am going to reknit it into a different kind of hat/scarf combination thing. I will keep you posted.
It looks wonderful the way it is! Great job!!
Okay, I think I combined the November/December KAL’s into one- I originally said that I was going to try socks for the November KAL. I realized that it wasn’t going to happen, and did my first hat instead. For December, I did manage my first sock, and it is colorful!!
