it might be called color blocking but the book i was reading called it color chunking and i think i saw something else online that called it that as well. i am not really sure how to do this so it stays connected to the project. for example making a little hedgehog where its belly is white and the body is brown. about a third of each row is white and the rest brown. i am thinking i would have to drop one color and then pick up the next but i might have to backtrack one peg so they are connected each time when i add the new color.....

not really sure about this. i am thinking i might just have to try it out with some scrap yarn....

My Saturday project is crocheted Nike booties.  They are pink, with a black sole and a black Nike swoosh.  The tongue is sparkly white.  They are for my 3 month old granddaughter.

Good Morning Jolene, what is color chunking please? I am more than willing to have a go at making a blanket on the loom with you. I have a 5/8 inch large gauge loom that has over 100 pegs on it that is made for blankets or afghans that is saying “Let’s have a go with me.” Let me know!

It’s Successful Saturday!  Have you started or finished a project, or achieved a goal?  Share it with us and we’ll celebrate with you.

I finished the sweater I’ve been working on since August!  Yay!  And it’s really nice.  If we had an Instagram, I’d post a picture.

It’s the Lion Brand Tree of Life Cardigan pattern, with some modifications by me.  It has 2 intertwined trees on each side of the front, and I added a simpler tree pattern on the upper sleeves.  It’s chestnut-colored, a rich reddish-brown.  It fits great, and I think it will be cozy.

I made it with Knitpicks High Desert Tweed, an all-American-made wool.  It’s really nice yarn. It’s smooth, doesn’t split easily, and firm but soft.

I’m really pleased with how my project came out.

Tracy
