Thank you for your kind

Thank you for your kind comments. Jesse, the bottom and armhole bands are 2x2 and the button band is st st double (I knit 7 rows purled one row and then knit 7 more and it folded on itself on the purl row). I sometimes carry the wool in each hand or just in my right hand. I used only three colours.

Is is a 1x1 ribbing? How do you carry the 2 colour strands - in each other of both in one or the other? I'm envious that you can select the colourway all by yourself! Let's see the other garments!
