I am in love. With a yarn. It is just so freaking delicious.
And you know what the sad part is? I’ve been so busy that I didn’t even get to knit this baby. I had to hire a sample knitter. So she got to work with all the silky, wooly, baby camel goodness. Baby camel? Really? I *think* it might be better than cashmere.
Creedence is a sideways shawl/wrap designed and named for the Verdant Gryphon’s amazing new yarn base Mondegreen. The colorway, “There’s A Bathroom On The Right” is a gorgeous chocolatey brown that works up into a sumptuous fabric with a simple rib texture that appears as lovely wavy lines.
The eyelet edging is applied as the shawl is worked sideways. Comfy and cozy, Creedence will be a winter wrap you will reach for again and again.
