My Coppenhagen Sweater is Done
It took awhile for this blue to grow on me. I am a bit surprised by that. I usually love any blue especially the cooler hues. This blue has a bit of purple in it.
The skeins sat on my shelf at shows and no one picked it up. I thought it was due to how tonal it was. It was a difficult dye to work with when I dyed up my natural sheep yarn. So, I took it off the shelf and put it in my personal stash.
My baby wanted me to make him another sweater, so it was "kitted" (wound up and stored in a project bag) just for him.
But the more I looked at the blue the more I loved it. It was screaming at me to be knit up into a cardigan style sweater. I said "Okay Coppenhagen. I will knit you up into thus cardigan, but you will not have any buttons."
The deal was on.
This sweater took a lot longer to knit up than I thought it would. See, I thought I had 5 skeins, but I could only find 4. In went the cute purple drops on the yoke. The purple accented the purpley blue very well.
