When we started dyeing up the new mini skein sets I knew I wanted a special project to show them off.

I’d admired Diagonapples by Anna Maltz, and it’s been in my queue of possible projects for a while.

I wanted to use 3 sets of mini skeins

So from start to finish the mini skeins will be knitted in this order.

This is a dream of a pattern to knit, as it’s very tempting to keep going and finish another stripe.

Here’s the beginning. Anna recommends that you finish ends as you go, and I did intend to do that. Instead I’ve set myself up for an hour or two of finishing.

Here’s a bit more detail of the bottom corner.

After a weekend with a lot of travel knitting I’m almost t the end of the 2nd set of mini skeins.

If you’d like to make your own Diagonapples you can find the pattern here. You’ll find the mini skeins I’ve used here.

I’ve already got a second version of this planned, this time with the colours mixed up rather than running in sequence.
