FO: Annis in Wonderland

Posted byScattered Thinker

I fell in love with Annis as soon as it was published as a Knitty surprise. I lost no time in casting it on, using some of the Colourmart 2/28NM scrap sets that I had in my stash.

odds n ends

I used the yarn doubled and this enabled me to stagger the colour changes in order to achieve some shading.

I chose to bead my Annis, in preference to knitting the nupps.
