Bolster Cover 2 - Colorwork Finished!

The knitting on this went super fast. In between colorwork projects I seem to forget how addictive it is.  My gauge obviously changed between the 5 rows of stockinette at the beginning and end, and the 96 rows of colorwork in between.  If I were doing this again I would work an increase round to bring the colorwork section stitch count up to 96.  This would have allowed me to work the leaf pattern four times around, instead of three, and I wouldn’t have had to modify the pattern at all.  But, I love how it came out and I think my additions look great.  Now I just have to wait for it to dry.  Worsted weight, colorwork, it is going to take a little while.  The colorwork pattern is LEAVES 13 from The Doodle Knit Directory by Jamie Lomax.

Pattern:  Improvised
