Indie Design GAL: Spotlight on Varian Brandon

If you are at all interested in stranded colorwork, you have to check out Varian Brandon. It's her passion and specialty and she does it so well! Whether you want to try out a smaller accessory pattern or a larger garment, Varian has you covered.

How about her Blue Flame Cowl to get you started?

Or maybe the Knights Banner mitts or matching cowl. (I had to pause at this point in my writing and buy the cowl pattern.)

Or if you wanted a larger project to really work on that stranded technique, how about a men's vest? Eastlake Revisited

Or be really adventurous and try something like the Wilkins sweater. Here's a closeup--the colorwork is throughout the sweater. Beautiful!

Just imagine the possibilities and the color choices that could be made with any of these patterns!
