Citron is a free pattern on the Knitty.com web site. It was perfect TV knitting - lots of mindless stocking stitch. The instructions are written for 5 repeats of the main pattern, with some extra guidelines for making it bigger, if so desired.
I checked ravelry, and saw a bunch of folks had recommended 7 repeats. I really like the size that the recommended 7 repeats produced. The only other change I made was to go down a needle size to a US 5, which worked well for this lovely fine yarn.
And what is this lovely yarn you may ask. It is a merino wool/silk mix lace yarn from Phydeaux Designs. Isn't it beautiful. Colorway is Alpha Centauri. I think I may become a frequent shopper at this online store!
Hope you are having a good week and enjoying the Olympic Games,

It's beautiful, Sam! The colors are so pretty :)
Love this. I must make this pattern. Perfect Olympic pattern.
Oooh that's gorgeous! I've just been wondering if I really like hand-dyed yarns, if that is really my bag. This definitely works!!
The paternal is one I my list of "todo", however Phydeaux Deigns is my favorite Indie yarn shoppe.
