corrugated ribbing

Scarlow collar!



This is a little more than half.  Just above the last brown section, there is a purl ridge for folding.  Now I am knitting the inside half of the collar.

I am not really enjoying this colorwork thing so much.  I guess the collar looks okay, but it seems like a lot of fuss for a not-very-awesome design.  For this much work, it should be amazing, but it's just sort of okay.  

The fact that it is ribbing makes it so much more annoying to knit.  Switching colors every two stitches is bad enough, but then having to also bring yarns back to front or front to back?  Ugh.

I am starting to see why so many people only like doing Fair Isle and other stranded colorwork in the round.  On my WS rows, it's really tedious having to carry the colors on the side facing me; much easier to always have them behind.  Hence steeking, I suppose.

 

Only 12 rows left, then pockets and seaming!  Yeah!

Is it the colorwork itself you're not into, or is it just that you're using boy colors?

The effect is subtle but it's looking really good.
