Patterns that make me wish I liked knitting stranded colourwork designs, part 2

December12

On November 26 I posted my stranded colourwork picks for this year’s Indie Designer Gift-A-Long but I had so many selections I decided to break it into two posts.  Here’s part 2.

Patterns that make me wish I liked knitting stranded colourwork designs

November26

I adore the look of stranded colourwork pieces but not the process of knitting them.  Stranded colourwork and intarsia aren’t my “happy place” knitting-wise.  However, there are so many stunning designs in the Gift-A-Long that I had to share. Here are the ones currently making my heart sing – now I just need to find someone to knit them for me!
