I wanted to try knitting in multiple colours, having previously done a bit of stripe work on full rows but not mixing it up mid-row. I found these patterns for Marvel icons in squares and thought that looked quite a fun place to start.

The Captain America shield was my first attempt and I couldn’t really get my head round it, somehow it is both too loose and too tight at the same time! The second attempt was the Agents of Shield logo which came out a bit better. I reduced to just two colours, and tried to concentrate on getting the tension right. It’s better, but I think there’s still a lot of practice required.

Thor’s hammer next?
