I started, needless to say, last night.  I did the knitting maths to figure out how many repeats around the motif would go, how many stitches were left over and what should go where.  I then set about knitting.

I did opt for the Dale inspired cuffed hem, which is the yellow bits you see.  It transitioned to the green just as I finished and worked the turning row.  I can’t say as I’m ecstatic by that green, but better at the hem then my face!

In case you’re curious, as I was, about the color progressions, someone put together a bunch of graphics displaying the alignment results.  Super cool.  If I’m reading it correctly, I’m doing something entirely different as my color progressions are opposite.  One is working Yellow –> Green –> Blue –> Purple–>Red–> Orange and the other is Orange –> Red –> Purple blah blah.  Interesting.  I wonder how it will play out.  I might just have to much with that graphic a bit and see if I should move along or correct it before I get too much further along.  I guess that as long as the colors don’t line up I should be fine.

And a close up…

:  I have to rip back.  I’ve got a big problem(s) colorwise and it is pretty glaring even in this terrible image.
