I'd found this really nice yarn in a discount store and wanted to make something with it. It wasn’t until I started knitting it up that I realised the colour blend wasn’t random - so the result was a striped piece; unfortunately this meant I then had to work it so that the stripes matched up on the seams - which meant lots of cutting and loads of yarn ends to darn in. It was also complicated by the fact that some of the balls of yarn were wound with the colours in the opposite direction to others, so these had to be re-wound by hand so that the colour sequence came out right. I later looked at others’ work on this pattern and saw that some had knitted in one piece so no side seams - would have saved me time but made the stripes quite narrow.
