Sunny Later

The weather in Shetland serves as a fitting reminder of one of my dad's all-time favorite sayings: "There's no mystery in the weather. If it's sunny now, it'll be raining later; if it's raining now, it'll be sunny later." This saying perfectly encapsulates the unpredictable nature of life, much like the joy and surprises you find in knitting!

For this vibrant and cheerful knitting project, you will need a selection of yarn that adds both color and warmth to your work. Specifically, gather 2 balls of yarn in color 203 (a lovely grey) to ground your piece. You will also require 1 ball each of the following colors: 93 (a striking red), 91 (a bright orange), 23 (a sunny yellow), 47 (a fresh green), 18 (a calming blue), and 20 (a rich purple). While you'll only need a small quantity of each of these beautiful colors, make sure to have ample amounts of the grey to complete your project effectively.

Not only does this project celebrate the shifting hues of Shetland's skies, but it's also perfect for knitters looking to explore colorwork techniques. So grab your needles and let your creativity flow as you bring this pattern to life – an ideal addition to your collection of free and paid knitting patterns!
