This gorgeous blue was chosen with and for Mr Soaring Sheep. It's eventually going to become a sweater for him, there is still a slight disagreement over patterns but I think we're on the verge of a compromise ;-)
I love how the heathers range of Cascade 220 has this gorgeous mix of colours. There's almost a turquoise in certain lights. Yummy. This shade is called "Mallard" and is colour 2448. I'm looking forward to seeing how it knits up. If Mr Soaring Sheep isn't too careful I might pinch it and use it to make something for me instead!
Well I guess I'd better get back to my knitting before I get completely overwhelmed with fluffy post purchases ;-) I'm just about to start the second sleeve of my Frozen sweater :)
I love that blue! Cascade is a great yarn. What a great sweater that will be.
ReplyDeleteThis is a, "See Me, I'm here," blue. I chuckled at how you two have to compromise over a jumper pattern. I'm curious... What's the disagreement?
ReplyDeleteHe's fussy about necklines and would be perfectly happy for me to knit an Alec XL that is identical to his current one. I would rather knit something slightly different, like a Flax sweater. I think we're going to end up using the Alec XL as a base but change up the stitch patterns some how and probably skip the collar this time
DeleteGorgeous colour!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour! He's a lucky one. Regula
ReplyDeletehehe I do tell him that ;-)
DeleteI had some Cascade 220 in a Secret Pal parcel a few years ago, and it was lovely knitting with it. The colour you've chosen is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love Cascade 220 heathers. I have a blanket's worth in orange that is going to make me cozy one day!
