Another Faded Knit

 

When the Second Quarter KAL for ESK was announced as a fade project, I found two possible combinations in my stash.  I went back and forth between them for a bit, but then I thought, "Why not make both of them?"  My Stay Out of the Forest was my first fade project, but as soon as I finished it, I cast on for my second fade project - a Free Your Fade.

This is knit exactly as the pattern is written using Madelinetosh Tosh Merino Light in Cousteau, which fades into Spectrum on the same yarn base, which then fades into Malabrigo Mechita in Aniversario.

It's an easy knit and after the first couple of repeats, you barely need the pattern open while you knit.  I would definitely knit this again, in fact I'm thinking of trying a black/gray to white fade.  I love the jewel tones in this one, but I think a neutral one could be really useful.  I don't have any yarns for it in my stash, so I'll have to do some shopping first!
