I don’t know about you, but I continue to dither over my Afghan Knitalong colors! So since we at Universal Yarn have a warehouse full of gorgeous Uptown Worsted at our fingertips, our staff put together Amy Gunderson’s other three color selections to see how they struck our fancy.
I am torn between Rocky Shore (from the last afghan color post) and Be Green. They’re both muted and adult, and both would look great draped over my couch.
Cupcake Parade is the colorway that Amy is using in her afghan. Swatches and video demos will mostly feature this group of colors.
Bright primaries reminiscent of a rainbow or the colors in a crayon box. Gorgeous.
I’m considering doing Be Green, but in blue, substituting 318 Navy for the Hunter Green and a couple of lighter blues for the other two tones. Uptown Worsted has plenty of color options to choose from, so I think I can find something that will work well. We knitters are creative folks; we’re not obligated to follow the pack or color within the lines.
The first square goes live on Monday. We’ll have the pattern, as well as a video tutorial on the technique used in our first square – intarsia!
What does this KAL afghan look like? I would love to see a picture before I spend quite a bit of money on the yarn.
Very understandable! We’re intending the afghan to be a learning experience – a series of squares measuring 8 1/2″ using different techniques that we’ll provide tutorials for. Some will be intarsia, some will be lace, and so on. We’ll be releasing new squares every couple of weeks. You’re certainly welcome to see how the first few go before jumping in. The leisurely pace means you shouldn’t have to race to catch up. Square one on Monday will be a basic intarsia block with a geometric theme. Stop back by and see what you think!
