I think yours is so much prettier in the red. I didn't even see a pattern in the peacock one.
I teach crochet and love it, but can knit. Once my daughter took 247 stitches off of my knitting needle when she was little, I swore to never do anything big again. Dishcloths are about it. With crochet, it's just one loop :) :)

I hand knit, machine knit and crochet. Here are some pic of three sweater I made a few years ago. the one with the dragon was hand knit and the two halloween ones are machine made. I have a Passap knitting machine. Haven't used it lately cause quilting got in the way.My crocheting is not as productive. seems I hold the thread too tight. My mom did a lot of it and I have many crochet doilies and table cloths from her along with two crochet bedspreads.

I am a knitter also. The pattern with peacock showing is knited in a solid color making the pattern stand out. The varigated yarn is very busy and the pattern may be lost in that. Last resort thinking, maybe there is a missed knitting step in the varigated.

I knit and crochet, we're on opposite sides of the country or I would love to help you. If you have a yarn shop locally or one nearby, the usually will help you. Also, check you local community college and see if they have someone who teaches an enrichment class of knitting to people in the community--if, so maybe they will give you the name of the instructor.
