Good morning, knitters! It is sooooo good to be back! Though I had a wonderful time in Costa Rica – sun, sand, ocean waters and lots of wildlife – it’s always such a pleasure to get back home. (I’ll be writing all about the Costa Rica adventure on Wednesday in my weekly WIP post.) Today, however, I want to welcome back the really lovely Lundbye scarf that was published a little over a year ago in Knit.Wear magazine.
Lundbye came to be after I glimpsed a neat reversible cable on a now forgotten British TV show. Rewind! I tussled with it, trying to figure out how to make the cable travel across a ribbed panel. Well, I finally got it and applied it to the simple ribbed scarf that I eventually submitted for publication.
A skiff of snow on furrowed ground, a brook frozen in its tracks, the tracks of skaters gliding over ice, the silence and cleanliness that a fall of snow imparts to the world: these are the inspirations for Lundbye.
With elegant restraint, Lundbye relies on a simple ribbed texture to carry a single, perfect cable that floats along one side. The cable is deeply ribbed and rhythmic, and reversible so that Lundbye can loop and wind and layer around the neck for coziness. A tubular cast on with its matching bind off begin and end Lundby, softening the edges with pure minimalism.
Today, Lundbye returns to my catalogue and I’d like to celebrate by offering a 50% discount on this pattern until Friday, January 4, 2019. It’s the perfect rhythmic knit to carry you into the New Year. Just pop in to my Ravelry shop, pick up Lundbye and enter the coupon code NEWLUND at checkout.

The The coupon code for sock patterns is SOCKS4ALL. I hope you’ll enjoy them!
Feel free to share a link to this page with your friends, but please don’t give out the coupon code. It helps me a lot when folks come here to visit. If you like these little discounts (I usually offer them on Fridays) and are interested in my work, I’d love to see you over at the Ravelry group Friends of Littlechurch Knits. ‘Til next time, happy knitting!
