Finished "Corduroy"

After having put this sweater aside numerous times for other, time-sensitive projects, I finally finished it. This is the Corduroy sweater from A Fine Fleece (Lisa Lloyd) and is knit with Legend. I bought this yarn two years ago at Rhinebeck, my first Rhinebeck, actually. I was so overwhelmed by the experience! This yarn waited until I found a pattern I thought would work well with it, something simple to let the yarn speak for itself. I think this was a perfect fit!

Rhinebeck

I was delighted this year to attend my first Sheep and Wool Festival at Rhinebeck. Wow. It was overwhelming to say the least. According to my husband, I had a smile on my face the whole day.

After drooling over the Briar Rose yarns for months, trying to decide what I wanted, I picked up this skein of Legend at their booth. I just gravitated toward this colorway. I don't know the name of it but it's beautiful and soothing. My next task is to figure out what to knit with it. I'm thinking it should be something simple because the colors should take center stage.

A sweater, definitely a sweater!
