What would the collective noun for a gang of gorgeous garter stitch projects be? As I cruise softly along the rows of my Sunstruck many other colourful garter stitch accessories are catching my eye and auditioning for the role of the next project to be cast on.

I'm not sure why this post is looking so fifty shades of grey at the moment as I'm definitely dreaming of COLOUR combinations for these new passions. Here's a little colour and a pattern that is piquing my curiosity:

Delights in store wherever the knitting path next wends its way.
