02.07.2020 On June 1, I started a pullover, using the schematic and notes from my Camp Gansey. A friend gave me 15 skeins of Rowan DK Tweed in a lovely colorway aptly named Bliss. After knitting g a swatch, I decided to use the same stitch counts as the original sweater. Using smaller needles and yarn, the fit will have just the right amount of ease. Yesterday morning was perfect for knitting on the deck before the heat set in. I finally snapped a photo that captured the color of that beautiful yarn. The notes and schematic jotted down two years ago were enough to recreate the new version, which I dubbed End of the Road Gansey.
The texture stitch pattern is Ridged Rib (2 + 1 stitches, 4-row repeat) and works well with the weight and texture of the yarn.

The texture and tweedy bits make this yarn one of my all-time favorites.
Sadly, it was discontinued years ago.
This is how the color usually photographs, even in natural light.

Using my new dot journal for the schematic. It is nice to have the other sweater as a guide.
The time of day and the light were perfect for getting a good photo.
