I'm checking in one last time before I hit the road. I finished this sample earlier in the week.
Copenhagen Calling.
No matter how much I plan ahead, there's always last minute sample knitting. In fact I finished another sample last night. Let me just say, these late-night Red Sox games have been a godsend.
This design features a little ribbing, some slip stitches and a lace panel. Plenty of variety to go around.
The yarn is Lucia DK, colorways Persimmon and March Sky. I reduced the stitch count a bit so I would only have to use one skein of Persimmon. I suggest two skeins of the second color even though I only used one. I had just a couple inches to spare.
If you're headed to Rhinebeck, you can see this sample and many more in Building C, Booth 42.
This week's color inspiration . . .
If I had to give it a name, I'd call it aubergine.
Today started with a coffee run because I ran out of beans, so I braced myself for things to go sideways. And so far they have. Scheduling conflicts, inventory issues and many piles of these.
Finished except for the labels.
On a positive note, I have knitting progress to report.
This is Copenhagen Calling, my second go at finding a pattern for this yarn. This cowl is moving along at a good clip, and I'm enjoying the combination of yarn and pattern. It's a gray, chilly day perfect for knitting. I'm tempted to pick up my needles, but I'll make more coffee and tackle those labels first.
Happy Thanksgiving to our northern neighbors! Enjoy time with family and friends.
