It's finished, it's finished! My Streusel is finished! Great pattern, wonderful yarn, and that amazing color! Here's the proof:
As an added bonus, you even get to see me wearing it! In addition to knitting along with all of you here, I was participating in the second annual Yarniacs podcast Colors of Fall Knitalong. The idea behind that KAL was to knit something in one of the colors from the Fall 2014 Pantone Fashion Color Report and then style a fall look incorporating the knitted piece. My Streusel is a dead ringer for the Pantone color Sangria, and I wore it with a green shirt (Pantone color Cypress), jeans and my hand knit Couplet socks (incorporating some elements of Pantone color Mauve Mist). Styling Streusel was a fun exercise, and Mr. D (my dear husband) took a pretty nice photo, too.
Thanks so much, Melissa and Kelli, for including me in the knit along. I look forward to joining in on another one sometime soon.
I'm so glad you joined us! It's usually a bit more chatty but I think with the easiness of the design and the gorgeous summer we had, people just haven't been blogging. I'm glad you shared your Streusel ~ it's lovely! And those socks...a Bonnie design as well??
ReplyDeleteYou're always welcome back, Julie!!
The Couplet socks are a Bonnie design. I'm kind of on a Bonnie kick at the moment; her Biscuit cowl is on the needles.
DeleteDue to the beautiful summer, I wasn't nearly as chatty or blog-y (is that a word?) as I normally am. I really did enjoy the knitting, however, and I promise I'll be back on a future KAL.
Oh I love the color!!!! Great job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Andee!
DeleteJulie, You look beautiful wearing this. I like the 'hand on the hip' confidence. You're a delight and I hope to see you come and knit with us again.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelli! I will definitely be knitting with all of you again.
DeleteJulie -- I LOVE the color and you do it proud. Thank you so much for sharing.

Deleteoh wow, small world, mutual friends and love how the shawl looks on you Julie. Not surprised by the color you chose. (wink!) Hope to connect with you soon!
