Re: Lame Question, Seed Stitch Edition

There is a shawl called Free Your Fade by Andrea Mowry. Her very popular?one is Find Your Fade. She fades one color into another through a sequence of 20 rows. Basically you introduce the new color with 2 rows, then you knit a bit with old color, alternate again, knit a bit with the new color, and fade the old color out. I play fast and loose with this because I use Free Your Fade to use up bits of sock yarn by doing faded stripes in a MC. But sometime I run out before the whole fade sequence is done so I adjust. But it looks nice when properly done. Rows 1 & 2: Use color B.? Rows 3 - 6: Use color A.? Rows 7 & 8: Use color B.? Rows 9 & 10: Use color A.? Rows 11 & 12: Use color B.? Rows 13 & 14: Use color A.? Rows 15 - 18: Use color B.? Rows 19 & 20: Use color A.? Break color A and proceed with only color B.

I'm getting close to my first transition to a lighter pink.? The one thing that I don't love about this is that there is a definitely line between the color changes (A photo of the yarn pack, knitted in the form of a throw is below.)? The color change is a very nit picking issue that I'll be happy to ignore, but wouldn't it be lovely if I could smooth out that line! --
