my little secret

As the balmy days of summer continue on…

I can recall the buzzing excitement around the initial release of a specific pattern. At the time, all of my lovely friends were knitting one and I truly adored each of their versions. It never crossed my mind to knit one too.. especially with two sweaters already in rotation and a few sock wip’s scattered about.

But then, on a warm and lazy Sunday morning, I was unexpectedly inspired to knit one too. I slowly shuffled through an old wicker basket, nicely tucked underneath my bed - in search for that beautiful skein of yarn my sweet friend, Mary so graciously gifted me. It was found near the bottom, unexpectedly yet properly placed next to a skein of Carnation from my Valentine’s collection. The two were a match made in Heaven and I knew in my heart that together they would create a gorgeous My Little Secret Crop.

Pattern: My Little Secret Crop by Jessie Maed

Yarn: A Knitter’s Homestead in Carnation on our 2-ply s.w. merino /nylon // Artistic Lilly in the colorway Freshly Brewed. Both are fingering weight and were held double to achieve this beautiful marled effect.
