Making good progress on my Throwback. This really is an easy knit – worsted weight yarn on size 8 needles is knitting up so quickly, and I love the Highland Duo main color yarn.

My plan was to use the colors of the northern lights in the colorwork on the yoke, and black for the main color. So I’ve kind of been on the lookout for… Continue reading Throwback Yarn
