Swatch to Sample

Yesterday I gave you a little peek into my newest design:

And although I would love to show you the finished product now, we'll all have to wait a bit!  It is amazing to look back upon this swatch from two weeks ago and see the (much) larger and luxurious piece it has turned into.  *Sigh*- oh cashmere, the things you make me do!

Even more exciting is the fact that the pattern for this new design is just about done being written up and will be sent off to the graphic designer very soon.   What this means for me is that I get to cast on a new beauty that I've been excited about since I first laid eyes on it.

Have you seen Jill's new Sonoran Cowl?  She gave me a sneak peek back when it was just a lowly WIP and I was smitten.  Not only is it colorwork (love!), it also calls for the Plucky Knitter's new yarn, Rustic.

And wouldn't you know?  I have the yarn in my possession, ready to go: 

  Better yet, it's aran weight.  Aran! After the laceweight cashmere, the chunkier yarn will be a warm welcome.

Now the real question- grey on green or green on grey?!?

  2. Green on gray, as I'm a fan of small pops of color. But you can't go wrong either way - those are beautiful colors.
