New Color from Lorna's Laces     Brooklyn Tweed Grand Street Ink

It's here, it's here! Grand Street Ink, the latest in the Color Commentary Series. It's a really rich, wine-y brown-y purple-y beauty. The original color inspiration came from some wonderful graffiti that Jaren Flood (http://brooklyntweed.net/blog/) saw on Grand Street in Brooklyn that used heavy swaths of rich indigo and black.

This cute baby vest pattern is written so that both machine and hand knitters can knit this pattern.
It is a fast project and because it uses Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sock yarns, there are alot of fun colors to choose from. Also, because it uses a sock yarn, it washes and wears very nicely. 

Sizes 20.6" 22.8" & 24.2" require only 2 hanks of Shepherd Sock.

Sample was done in Shepherd Sock Rainbow #601.
