Notes

I purchased this yarn in January 2014 and had the hardest time finding a pattern that I wanted to knit with it. I saw Sail away and thought it was a match made in yarn heaven.

I’m a Maine girl through and through. Maine will always be home to me no matter where I am (my husband is Navy so that is usually far away). Sometimes I crave Maine dyed yarns, just to have a piece of home in my hands and I absolutely adore Caper Sock from String Theory.

The combination of Sail Away and Ruby Slipper is so perfect. I’m always sailing away, but there is no place like home.
