I Love This Pattern

I have truly caught the infection of the Color Affection Pattern.  I started it just about a week and a half ago, and have been going strong on the third color section.

Adding the eggplant to the mix does show up.  I was afraid the eggplant and the bordeaux were too close a color match, but as you can see they have just enough contrast.

I am much farther along than this picture shows.  I am on the eleventh stripe of short rows, and so have only about 5 more to go.
And, after stash diving, I think I found the yarn for my Color Affection #2.
