FO: Rae

Yesterday night I completed my Rae for my local yarn store's January/February knit-a-long. It was a very simple pattern of all garter but it was fun to watch it progress. I really liked this pattern because it allowed me to use a varigated yarn that I would never use in any other project. I'm just more of a solids or tonals kind of knitter so the varigateds don't get much love.

The Dream In Color Smooshy that I used was lovely and soft. It did, however have a slight oddity to it. One side of the project is mostly blue, but the other side is mostly purple and brown. I think it works in this project and adds character, but it did surprise me.


pattern: Rae, by Jane Richmond
yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy, colorway "Into the Mystic"
needles: 6s
raveled: Rae

    I really love the yarn you chose, it is a great match for this project for sure. Also, the last picture on this post is beautiful or, dare I say it, perfect. Wonderful job!

    Very nice! I only use variegated yarns for socks or shawls like that. Never for sweaters! It would drive me nuts for sweaters!

    Smooshy is such a good name for the yarn! Interesting that there would be different on each side though.

      Absolutely! All you need to know how to do it the knit stitch and the m1 increase and k2tog decrease, which you can learn in a couple of minutes from youtube if you don't know them already.
