Colourwork

I'm in bed with a real stinker of a cold today so here is one from my album.

I made a pair of vests with different pictures about 30 years ago but can only find a photo of one of them just now.

Because it would have been too expensive to buy balls of knitting wool in the number of colours needed, I used tapestry wool instead, and only bought knitting wool for the background. This is helpful in any situation where you only need a very small amount of a colour - after all, you can use it doubled or tripled to achieve the required thickness.
