For reference, this was where I was when I ripped it all out and started over with the Quince & Co. Finch:
So I’ve been focusing on getting back to where I was, and now I can move forward. I just need to knit a couple of rounds now and then I’m back to the colorwork repeats. I’ve actually gotten into a bit of a rhythm now, and am quite enjoying the knitting of this design. It’s been just the break my brain has needed recently after higher-stress work days.
I’m looking forward to watching the color progression of the pattern as I use the alternate yarn. There are some yellowish hues, and possibly a little green in there, all pastels.
