Colorwork?

[aedifica]

O ye knitters,

I'm curious to try colorwork. I've been knitting a while, have done socks and scarves and a sweater, and have dabbled in cables, but I've never done colorwork and know really nothing about it. Do you have any suggestions for an easy project to learn on?

Thanks,

Edited to clarify: What I'd really like is a good pattern for a first-timer--I've tried looking for one on Ravelry and Google, but my search skillz are failing me this time.

I rather like the Endpaper mitts -- colorwork, but very geometric and therefore predictable.

Of course, I think my first colorwork was a Komi cap, so maybe I'm not a good person to ask for advice...
