Vestry Street

I love the photos of Vestry Street that Gale took for the book. A friend of Gale's kindly lent us her colorful front porch -- the salmon-colored shingles and mint green trim just melted my heart when I saw them. Bobo, Gale's adorable dog, even got in on the act. Bobo is a sweetheart -- he let us tie a tulle bow around his neck, without a single complaint -- and as you can see both Katrina and Sofie adored him.  The brightly colored soft drinks, a local treat in Gale's neighborhood, were just the thing to pull it all together. I love the lazy summer afternoon attitude  Gale captured in these photos.

Vestry can be knit in either fingering or lace weight yarn. The lace weight version is shown in a gorgeous gradient from Play at Life Fibers.

 

While the fingering weight version is shown in Swans Island Natural Colors Merino Fingering.

Love it in the gradient (liked it before I saw that too) and even bought a skein of Play At Life to make it.
