Yesturday was the perfect day for dyeing! I tested out a new pink color
And dyed some yarn for Trek, to thank her for being a fantastic test knitter!
By the way, check out Trek's version of the cuff I designed for BCB's Seda de Soya (that's Spanish for Soysilk). The pattern can be found here (it's a PDF and may take a second or two to load).
I spent most of my evening last night sitting on my porch, knitting on the monstrosity. After approx. 4 hours (total, not just last night!) this is what I have.
I've never done colorwork like this before...but I couldn't be happier with the results. I mean, yes, it's an ugly color...but I can't believe I'm actually creating this pattern! I really enjoy knitting on it, although now that I'm done with the sleeves it's just 5 plain rows followed by a patterned row.
I do have one question about it: The directions say to increase at the beg. and end of every 4th row, placing the increases at least 2 sts apart. Huh? The increases will be 3 rows apart...does it mean on the first row I K1, inc then on the next inc row: k3, inc?
Any help is appreciated!

Oops, sorry about the missing comment!
It is being knitted in the round, right? I believe they just want you to increase on the 2nd stitch and second last stitch even though they use the terms beginning and end.
Lovely yarn and colorwork!
I agrea with marina on the increases should go.
Have to say, lovely colorwork, your doing a great job : )
very soft and pretty looking!
