Description
Time Trades – Boyland Knitworks – Short Description: Time Trades was inspired by a favorite song of mine by songwriter Jeffrey Lewis- the lyrics are about using your time to build on a skill that you can get better and wiser atwhich knitting is perfectly suited to! This elegant wrap requires a mini gradient set of 5 colors and 2 full size skeins of complementing speckled, variegated or solid yarns. Starting with the darkest color of your gradient, you will gradually fade into the speckled yarns, alternating lace and garter rows for a relaxing but never boring knit.
Gauge: 17 sts and 32 rows over 4″ in stockinette. Note that gauge is not critically important for this design, but your finished dimensions/yarn usage will vary if your gauge differs from that stated.
