What is the name of the green stitch pattern from the BW Treasury? It looks super beautiful!

I really like the last swatch too. The textured pattern works very well to me with the variegated yarn. I like all of your swatches, pretty neat to get a glimpse of what you’ll working on in your fall collection!

I’ve had similar experiences with the Silky Wool. I absolutely love the way the yarn feels and drapes (squishy and drapey?!) but it doesn’t seem to have very good stitch definition at all. I’ve been using it for colorwork lately and it seems to like that or else a really simple sweater because it seems that any kind of fancy stitchwork just gets lost. I knit a leaf-lace tee in it a few weeks ago (I don’t have fo photos up yet but sometime this week) and you can see in the pictures that even the lace is pretty lost in the tweedy yarn.

Thanks for the shout-out, Ruth. I apprectiate it! The swatch is lovely, but I wonder about taking the trouble of knitting with two yarns in a slip-stitch pattern when they blend together so thoroughly. But then again, it does make a subtly elegant fabric.

That last swatch is gorgeous, and I almost can’t believe it’s a wave and box pattern. With the placement of the solid sections, it gives an appearance of a very subtle diamond lattice running throughout the swatch — at least to me. I love it!
