YeJi knit Island to Island Vest in Jamieson’s Spindrift: MC Eclipse (707)
CC1 Ivy (815)
CC2 Leprechaun (259)
CC3 Pistachio (791)
It’s the sample at in Seattle. There’s a lot of wiggle room when choosing colors - I also like Chartreuse for CC3, and I wonder about Prairie, for CC1.

🌸 it looks SO cute on .co! Did you catch the cherry blossoms this year? We still don’t have tree blossoms in Maine.

Other swaps could be J&S 2ply jumperweight - maybe:
MC 36
CC1 118
CC2 FC11
CC3 FC24, or 29, or 9, or even 121!
I need to swatch to find my favorite. That said… I might change it completely and use J&S 5ply with Twilight Rust, Twilight Scarlet, and Scarlet! Ooooh!!! A thrill 🔥

15% off thru Friday - no code needed.

Snow Treasure gloves for a snowy Seattle morning!
❄️ ⛄️ ❄️ we need them here today. Crazy. I think they’re fun to knit, a blend of Shetland and Norwegian knitting influences. They’re names after one of my favorite children’s book about how the Norwegian children assisted the resistance during WW2 occupation.
