For Knitting and Crochet Blog Day 2

Since I have gotten behind blogging this is my attempt to catch up.

The topic for Day 2 was: Blog about a pattern or project which you aspire to.

There are a few that come to mind. The first one is the Babette Blanket. In terms of  my skills, it ranks as very simple. My concern is the time commitment. It is a huge undertaking that I am not ready to do at this time.

I am fascinated by the color possibilities. They are endless. I have decided to use Peaches & Creme Worsted Wt. because it is my favorite cotton. Another reason for using it is the abundance of color choices. I want to make one showcasing all of the colors. My goal is to make another one using any colors that contain purple. I might choose to use a lighter shade such as White, Cream or Ivory to offset the darker shades.

The knitting project to which I aspire is to learn to knit Intarsia. I tried one time but did not catch the concept. I will try again in the next couple of months after some major projects are completed.
