PATTERN:  Victorian Shoulderette, by Sivia Harding Knit Design, www.siviaharding.com

Yarn: I used a yarn which I had bought while in Ireland years ago now – probably twenty years – so see?  A stash of yarn is never wasted in my home!  The pattern called for 250 yards, but I used 300 yards  to make it bigger and to increase the middle section.

Emerald Aran, 100% wool, Blarney Woollen Mills, Ireland

Needles: US Size 6 / 4 mm circular needle, 24”/60 cm long

COMMENTS:  This was such a quick knit with great results, that I’m sure I will knit it again!  The color in the photos don’t do justice to the actual color – a muted, darker tone of cornflower blue.  It reminds me of the Puget Sound when it is rough and choppy.
