Equatorial Orchids

It's spring and everything is fresh and new. Too new - I've got too many fresh ideas that I'm having a tough time juggling them all. The Roll Your Own series, is one with published deadlines so it rises to the top of the to do pile. Even so, I introduce the June installment a day late.
Equatorial Orchids - #3 of 7 in the 2014 RYO series
For some blindingly brilliant reason, I decided these should all be named after lines of latitude. Something punny about "great circles," I imagine. So this month, I picked the equator and tried to convey some lushness of the tropical flora. Shown above it a new color scheme called Orchids, but as you'll see below, it looks great in other combos too. The more color combos we make, the harder it gets to pick one.

Equatorial Orchids in the following RYO colorways:
Garand, Candyfloss, Owl Optimizer
Solas, Darkside Duck, Lemony Hues
Revenge, Bridal, Buried Treasure 2

RYO charts are now available only in printed form from your favorite shop or directly from my webshop.

Although I didn't break it out in each separate preview above, the corner chips and the center bit can be used to make additional options as in past rounds.
Extra things you can do with the center and corner chips.
Have fun. Stitch faster.
