DayBreak

Pattern: Daybreak by Stephen West
Yarn: Louet Gems in Ferm Green and Regia 4ply Grey
Needles: 3.5mm circs
Start Date: September 24th 2009
Finish Date: October 2nd 2009
The plan to put Daybreak on the back burner lasted all of 2 seconds, it proved to be a great t.v. knit with lots of stockinette and a few slipped stitches. The colour changes kept my interest enough to keep trucking along and not get bored.

I decided to go with two plain colours instead of the many variegated daybreak`s I`ve been seeing on Ravelry andI`m pretty pleased with the outcome. I wanted something wearable unlike my clapotis*… *love the yarn I used for it but its so bright it just doesn`t go with anything, its headed to the frog pond soon me thinks* This green and grey combo is a bit more subtle and definitely wearable with all of my jackets.

I`ve worn this a few times already, its proven to be wonderfully warm and will be a great staple in my winter wardrobe.
I can see more scarf shawls in my future!

Love the shawl. I only made it 37 1/2 weeks when my water broke. I could not imagine going as long as you. Best of luck with labor and delivery. You can do it!

Really lovely. Again you chose “my” colours. It might also be a good cover for some privacy and warmth for you and Tadpole while breastfeeding, I imagine. Do you still have any wips (ecept the baby) – I guess that could be why there is nothing moving on…
Have a great weekend!

Ooh I love the green-grey combo and now this will match your other grey knits. I’ve been eyeing this pattern for a while now and I’m even more drawn to it now that I’ve seen your version!

How beautiful! Isn’t he a great designer? I just started one of his designs for myself.

This is beautiful!
I am wondering if knitting needles are still in your hands today, or if another little bundle is keeping them occupied. I hope it’s the latter. And if not – hang in there!

Now I want one too.
Hope little tadpole will come out and play soon!

Just stumbled upon your blog today, as I’m home sick with H1N1. I hope that as I’m typing, you’re delivering a very special baby!
