Talking in circles

FI-projects are not very handy, and I always need a project or two, that I can bring along everywhere. 

 

A lot of you knit socks maby because you need handy projects too- very nice socks, but I don't know if you've noticed: you never find socks on my needles. I have this little eccentricity: I hate to knit the same thing more than once - well - and socks are best in pairs :)

 

I've dyed a lot of yarn using plants lately, but in my stash you can also find yarn, that I dyed with acid colors. When I play with acid colors I use a color wheel for inspiration and help.

 

The other evening - when I was looking for some yarn and inspiration for a small, handy project - I found some of the multicolored Kauni yarn, that I used for the Rainbow Shawl. I never thought of it before, but WOW - the yarn is colored just like a color wheel, and I got an idea: I'll knit a Color Wheel - a nice, little, handy project.

And you know me - I started immediately. I think it'll be nice :)
