Playful Stripes In Grey

I always enjoy seeing my patterns done up in different yarns and colorways.

A while back an Icelandic magazine published my Playful Stripes pattern and photographed it in this combination of colors.

I would have never thought that grey would ever work with peach or green... but it totally does! I loved this combination so much that I asked my wonderful Ravelry friend, Yaena, to knit up another Playful Stripes sample for me using these colors together.

Aren't these colors surprisingly beautiful?

If you'd like to knit up a sweater just like this you will need

Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino in these following colors.

[MC] Medium Grey #9

[CC1] Baby Green #3

[CC2] Soft Peach #5

[CC3] Off White #101

[CC4] Lilac #10

The pattern will specify how many you need of each skein for the size you want to make. The pattern can be found here.

I will be using this sample for a second trunk show display.

My first trunk show of samples is booked so far in advance now that I'm having another

set of samples knit up so that I can have 2 trunk shows traveling simultaneously.

This is a fun excuse for me to have my patterns knit up in different colorways to show some variety.

I think that one of the most fun things about this Playful Stripes pattern is picking out the colors.

Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino has such a great variety of beautiful colors to choose from. The possibilities are endless!

Another color combination that recently caught my attention was found on ravelry.com.

Click here to see. When I knit this sweater again, Id like to try these colors next. So cute!

You know what else is cute?

After the photo shoot, I caught Playful Stripes cuddling with Elijah the knitted elephant.

I quick snapped a picture while they weren't looking. :)
