Mimeograph
During a Stitch and Chat™ class, I learned that one of my knitters, Lynn, had a daughter who dyed yarn. Now I’ve known Lynn for a while now and was SHOCKED that I didn’t know this. I mean, seriously, how did I not know this!
Given that I need to check out the new shiny object right away, I immediately visited Lauren’s website. The rest, as they say, is history.
I was completely smitten by her gradients, specifically, the Rose Quartz Gradient.
My vision was to use a stitch pattern that could be repeated throughout the scarf, transitioning through the colors, and most importantly - not competing with the yarn. I wanted to showcase the beauty of Lauren’s gradients.
I named the pattern mimeograph as a throwback to how copies were made when I was a kid in school. There was a mimeograph machine and as you made more and more copies, the color of the ink would fade.

“The pattern is mesmerizing and a pleasure to work. I’m (knitting) in anticipation of each (color) change all the way. Very enjoyable knitting!” ~ Amy, test knitter.
A special thanks to the test knitters: Amy, Carlyn, Elizabeth, Laurie, Lauren, Lisa, Lynn, Madeleine, and Mary for their invaluable feedback.
Thank you to Judy for tech editing the pattern.
And of course, thanks to Lauren, A Girl and Her Wool, for the star of the show ~ her yarn!
