Drifting! The colour isn’t photographing at all well, it’s not as orange as it appears.<\/p>\n
Last year at the Stitches and Craft show, I spotted this Staccato in Watermelon at Suzyhausfrau<\/a>‘s stall I had no plans for it, no idea what I wanted to do with it, the colour just insisted on coming home with me. I picked up three skeins, and home they came. Every now and then I’d flip through patterns on Ravelry, and add a scarf or cowl pattern to my queue, but nothing was exactly right. Then I spotted Drifting<\/a>. Alas, I needed four skeins and I only had three. I ordered an extra from Suzyhausfrau, figuring I’d have to blend the skeins, but that it would probably work.<\/p>\n My luck was in, it was the same dyelot! Hooray! It flew off the needles, and I think it was just meant to be.<\/p>\n Pattern: Drifting<\/a> by Cecily Glowik MacDonald I strongly recommend swatching and washing your swatch. I got gauge on the 4mm needles, but it grew substantially when I blocked it, so I went down to the 3.5mm.<\/p>\n As luck would have it, one night I put my knitting down next to a piece of Liberty Tana Lawn that I had, and inspiration struck. So I made a little flower brooch to wear with it.<\/p>\n
