Dance of Bells by Moira Cameron

sky spikes
strike earth’s air-shell
dance of bells
sun slivers
shimmer in the dark
joy sparkles

A neutral grey really shows up the colours that gently shift through the rainbow. Choose from either neons with a light grey, or richly saturated colours with a dark grey background. I love the simultaneous contrast of this design. As I work through the colours, I wonder whether THIS blue is the turning point to purple? Or is there a more blue blue to come?

Using just stocking stitch, increases and decreases, only one colour is knit with at a time. Difficulty level: beginner / intermediate, suggested needle size is 4mm using circular needles. Circular needles are important as you'll be sliding the work back and forth in the striping sections.

Measurements: width 18cm / 7in, length 182cm / 71.5in, not including pompoms. 

Each kit contains:

120g / 450m 4 ply cashmere yarn

25 hand dyed balls to make up the stripes, totalling 50g / 188m
