Yes, I have another finished object to share with you! This one I finished right before Rhinebeck so some people have seen it in person.
I love this knit. I mean Love.
I wear it almost all the time – it’s been super cold here in the Northeast and the wood stove isn’t doing a very good job keeping up with our 200 year old windows (my old farmhouse still has the original handmade glass in the living room) so lately when I’m on the couch, I’m wearing this.
It keeps my neck and shoulders cozy warm.
It helps that the yarn was dyed by two good friends – and that it has cashmere in it ;o)
The blue and purple were dyed by Judy of Ball and Skein, the grey was dyed by Kim of The Woolen Rabbit. It’s like getting a hug from both of them whenever I wear it!
Project Details:
Pattern: Color Affection by Veera Välimäki
Yarn: Ball and Skein Sophia in Fox Grape and Beach Glass; The Woolen Rabbit Harmony Sock in Raven
Needle: Knit Picks interchangeables – but I don’t remember the size! I want to say 6?
Time to Knit: 4 months!

Most beautiful!
It looks much like one of my CA’s (I have two and I knitted 4!)
Love it – Judy and Kim dye such beautiful colors and they look great together. I’ve got the yarn to make one, too, dyed by Vicki. I really ought to start that!

Lovely! It seems like too much garter stitch for me to want to knit one, but I love the way yours turned out.
