There’s something extraordinarily demotivating about an endless sea of stockinette; perhaps that’s why it took me over a year to finish this blanket wrap thing. It probably didn’t help that, for a very large chuck of the year, it’s far too warm to wear wool in Hong Kong.

Despite these odds, however, I persevered and finally finished my Rivage, a beautifully designed piece by Julie Hoover. The pattern can be found at Brooklyn Tweed along with the yarn I used (Brooklyn Tweed’s Loft). Loft is a beautiful fingering weight, 100% wool yarn that comes in some amazing colours with even more amazing names (for this project, I used Sweatshirt, Soot, and Old World).

The colour combos are basically endless for this piece, and I remember spending quite some time at work in HK (oops) trying to choose three for this project. I’ll definitely be using Brooklyn Tweed yarn again, and I’m already eyeing some                                                              of their sweater patterns and dreaming about colourways.
