VK's featured photos of this pattern show a marled, tweedy kind of of yarn that adds a lot to the look of the finished piece. The use of this yarn makes for a more understated look.  We'll see how often I  reach for it this autumn/winter.

Its a straightforward eyelet tube in a luscious silk/wool blend yarn.  Drapy and soft on the skin yet with enough body built in through the design to stay up around the neck where it belongs.

Garter stitch borders top and bottom.

 I-cord through one row of eyelets to keep things snug around the neck

"Wimple-ready" too! (Does this pic remind anyone else of the "French Lieutenant's Woman" Movie Poster?)

Bought the yarn, on sale, on spec and its been sitting here for years without a purpose. (what is my problem with having a little yarn stash?) Honestly while I'm happy with the FO, I have to admit I'm thrilled to have the yarn used up.

Thanks for dropping by!
