I’ve been working on a sweater for my son and it’s been a bit of a strange process. I wanted to use some Kauni 8/2 yarn I bought from Lynghøjgaard Garnbutikken some time ago with the intention of eventually making a sweater of some sort. When I started knitting, I thought to myself that these colors weren’t quite looking as good together as I had thought they would in my head (and we all know that some thing seems like such a good idea “at the time”…)
So, I got though a zig zag detailing around the neck and realized that it looked like little M’s… wait a minute… yellow M’s on a red background?! Maybe even Golden Arches?? I’ve knitted a sweater for Ronald McDonald himself!!

While they yarn and pattern themselves are great, I guess the real issue here is user error – ie: the knitter who put these to colors together, me. And if you don’t believe me or if it’s been a while since you’ve seen the McD’s logo take a look at this:
At this point, I keep knitting and knitting the lower body of the sweater in the hopes that more red will balance this all out. Maybe a sleeve or two will help… will keep you posted on this ketchup and mustard nightmare.
PS: Just a minute, need to channel my inner gangster here… A special shout out @McJuel for the technical assistance.
Man I look sad. Contador must have been winning that day.
