Colorwork Reference Info
Knitters have been asking, so here it is, the whole enchilada, all the Palette colors artfully arranged in one enormous photo. (Click for bigger.) I make no guarantees about color accuracy on your monitor, but this way you'll see relationships between colors, since they're right next to each other in one shot. Enjoy!
Melissa explains how to use this picture of the spectrum of Palette colors to select colors for your next knitted colorwork project.
Group member Cheryl Waters has created an excellent reference sheet for keeping track of which Palette yarn you have in your stash! You can download the PDF here: PaletteColors2011.pdf

Isn't it. Wonder if the large is big enough for new lightning fast iPad. Downloaded a whole book faster than I could snap my fingers. Gonna have to stash dive for awhile.

I love colorknitting after I did my first steeked pullover 8 yrs? ago. I have done a pair of Norwegian mittens in the last couple of years and on a smaller scale, I still loved it.Practice and paying attention to the pattern.......

Wow! Palette page! I am in love with Palette. I want to dive, headfirst into a huge Olympic-sized pool of Palette! I do knit with other KP yarns, but Palette is my first love for colorwork.

Yes, there were copies on e bay for $300!!!. It really is an exhaustive book on everything about knitting. Everyone should get one before it can go out of print again.

When mine arrived, I told my DH what a bargain it was because if I'd had to buy it at a college book store it would have cost ten times as much!
