I have been wanting to do more colorwork in my designs… It’s something that makes me really happy, the ability to draw with 2 colors of yarn, to create any motif I can think of. So when I read the word ‘connection’ to use as inspiration for a design, I immediately thought of 2 strands of yarn, connected and interlocked, creating a stranded colorwork yoke. 
I decided to give the classic stranded yoke a twist, though. In this design you can choose from a variety of motifs. This gives you a chance to customize your tunic so that no other will look the same. I could picture some of these tunics being worn by knitters at an event, and I could see them comparing the motifs they had chosen. Much like a knit night, festival, or knit along, the Community Tunic is about connecting with fellow knitters and celebrating a shared love of the craft.
