Testing Turnagain

This many colors can’t be a bad thing:

Color A: Dahlia (1/2 skein)
Color B: Silverlight (1/4) skein)
Color C: Toad Lily (Full skein)
Color D: Amethyst (3/4 skein)
Color E: Nautilus (1/4 skein)
Color F: Ceilo (1/2 skein)

Turnagain is going really well, in fact I think I’m 1/3 finished with the knitting part, but I’m only surprised because I had a slightly rough start. I cast on with the wrong needle size and length, then found after 10 rows of knitting that I’d also twisted my work. I ripped back, restarted with a crocheted provisional cast on on the right size needle, and things have gone quickly every since.
I’m glad to be knitting through the pattern before putting kits together as I’m having all kinds of inspiration for how to make the kits more visually appealing. I have some wilder ideas as well as some pretty normal ones, but here’s what I think really works so far:

Most of these colors can be found here on my website’s list of colors, but also on my Pinterest page if you want to see them organized by color.
