It’s August and I feel like buying school supplies. I’m not sure why this is such a gratifying task. There’s something about freshly sharpened No.2 pencils, and the linen paper we used for presentations before the digital age. Perhaps it is because I grew up in a family of teachers, and gearing up for the beginning of school was a comprehensive endeavor. It kind of feels like a ‘fresh start’ after finishing the previous term and having the summer to re-group. This collection, ‘Pencil & Paper’, was inspired by the nostalgia of preparing for a new school year.

Pink Graphite
This design is a large right triangle worked sideways, featuring an easy eyelet section and a solid border that is picked up along the lower edge. See my project page for notes on working the border.

Instructions are charted as well as fully written, and the pattern is suitable for any yarn weight from fingering to aran. Be sure to adjust your yarn requirements when making substitutions.

Materials used for sample (weighs 290g):
Garnstudio Drops Puna
4 skeins Powder Pink (190g - 65% of total used)
2 skeins Dark Gray (100g - 35% of total used)

Hint for border: To pick up border stitches from the edge of the mesh section, I picked up one stitch from each pink stripe and one stitch from each gray stripe. Basically one stitch every two rows, just like for picking up from the edge of garter stitch.
