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.
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.
