PATTERN RELEASE DATE: Friday 16th December 2022.
This kit includes all yarns on the Resolute base.
Select your size from the dropdown list and then once you add to basket, a pop-up will appear where you can choose any 2 colourways for the kit from the dropdown lists for main colourway and contrast colourway.
I recommend choosing 1 semi-solid and 1 variegated/speckled rather than 2 busy colourways. I’ve provided some suggestions of colourway combos in the photos, but feel free to ping me an email or Instagram message if you’d like any assistance choosing your colours. Rachel recommends a high contrast between the 2 colours.
This kit includes the pattern as a Ravelry purchase from Unwind Knitwear, as well as a printed document.
The kit could take up to 10 days to ship if your chosen colourway is out of stock.
OVERVIEW
Time is a top-down, yoked sweater with colourwork patterns inspired by the music “Time” by Hans Zimmer for the Inception movie soundtrack. I love this music for its clever combination of strict rhythmic structure, mimicking the ticking of a clock, and swells of freer movement that create emotion and drama.
COLOURWAYS
Rachel’s sample has been worked using Telling Yarns’ Resolute base in the main colourway Monstress with Natural as the contrast colour. Beth’s sample is knit with Resolute in the colourways Stormcloud as the main colourway and Morning as the low contrast second colourway - for a higher contrast why not try Mrs Coulter with Stormcloud.
