That title of a Rusted Root song could only mean one thing… I got my yarn (finally!) I had ordered two colors because I just couldn’t decide: provincal rose and rue. Of course Rue was backordered but I had the store just go ahead a ship me my PR. A knock on my door at 8:15 this morning and here I am with my lovely rose colored yarn!
It’s a bit too rose for me but I’m thinking that once i give it a wash it’s going to dull down just a wee bit. And what I will do with the Rue when it arrives, you ask? Oh make a Green Gable of course! I truly do enjoy the Zypher Style patterns. Simple yet stylish. And wonderful Wearability!
With all this going on to needles I do have one proud FO to share. Just in time for the break in temperature.
Pattern: Backyard Leaves from Scarf Style
Yarn: About 4 balls of DB Cashmerino Aran in color 101
Needles: Size US 8s straights
I couldn’t put this project down even though I still have my sock and shawl to finish. The pattern always needed your attention but at the same time it was great practice on reading your stitches. Knowing what a k2g looked like or a ssk and what you needed to do on the next row without having to read the pattern. I paid attention and yet felt a bit freer towards the end because I could almost close the book and knit it on my own. One small victory for me as a knitter! Here is my backyard leaves self-portrait inspired by fricknits. (can you see that i need to dust my mirror…)
I haven’t blocked the scarf and I’m not sure I am going to. I like the 3-d of the leaves and don’t want to take that puff out of them.
I hope to finish my jaywalker, I’m just about to turn the heel. I’m so happy you all were curious about the color. I felt the same way when I first got the ball of yarn. An "Eehh" feeling, but as I was knitting it up I began to love it more and more. Ohh Trekking, BUT oh have you see what Eunny has done?? It’s entrelastical!
Love the homage! Thanks for the shoutout. Backyard leaves looks gorgeous and I look forward to Rusting along with you!
