I hope it's a great one.<BR/><BR/>Those look like fine Gryffindor colors! Colorwork isn't so bad--my first colorwork was a House Pride bag for my spoilee last term and it was pretty intense, but doable.<BR/><BR/>A few things to remember, though--when you go to change colors, if you're using the red, bring it up under the yellow before you knit with it. If you're switching to yellow, twist it OVER the red. It's a color dominance thing--there's a lot of info about it online if you need more information. Also don't forget to twist your yarns together every three or four stitches or so to prevent long floats that could get snagged.Allitrya Spellinghttp://allitrya.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8817147813573965944.post-19183086755968793192008-05-28T06:24:00.000-07:002008-05-28T06:24:00.000-07:00Happy Birthday!!!<BR/><BR/>Those yarn colors are perfect. If you're unsure about colorwork, maybe try End Paper Mitts it's colorwork but pretty easy and then you'll end up with cool mitts!Perpetua Phoenixfirehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10017321556190520414noreply@blogger.com
