This one's a grower

The more I look at this, the more I like it.
I made it from some acrylic yarn that I bought from Honor Parry in Battersea.
You'll probably realise that I am a sucker for variegated yarns. I also think they are ideal for new knitters because it's easier to see how a new stitch takes form on the needles.

This one was inspired by Missoni and the pattern is a bog standard wave and shell job.
I have lots of grey oddments at home. I may well do the same pattern with them, rather than a straightfoward stripe.
