Red Colorway
I was supposed to cast on for my Shetland stole and work on Scarlett, but did I do that last night? Noooo, instead I swatched up a red colorway version of the blue jean fair isle I posted in my last entry. Here's the chart:
And here's the swatch:
I include a chart because I get a kick out of seeing the transition from paper chart to yarn swatch. I don't like this red colorway nearly as much as the blue one. But it might make a nice pair mittens or something.

I also prefer the blue version but I think both are gorgeous.
