That's when I found two balls of Opal yarn, shown off with a swatch knitted up in the shop. Oh, I really loved the way it made patterns all by itself!
But I got the impression that the self-patterning only worked on small-scale garments - socks, a kiddie's jumper. 'Why didn't they make a "big" version of it?' I asked myself, followed by 'How could I make use of it anyway?'
So, I thought I could make use of it by incorporating it into a jumper as a feature panel or stripe.
I got some solid colour wool that matched colours that were in the Opal - purple, dark green, light green, and a pale beigey-cream. The purple will be the main ground colour.
The colours remind me of spring or autumn crocuses, so I will call it Crocus.
It may be ready by Spring - the end of Spring, perhaps?
I don't have a pattern, specifically. It's going to be A Big Adventure.
