I was curious when Xandy posted that she was looking for Indie dyers who reside in New Jersey for a new project. I contacted her and we met in NYC at a coffee bar in Noho. I schlepped every color of fingering yarn I had and some finished projects too. Xandy loved the subtle colors I used in my first Vivid blanket project - the colors reminded her of the old Victorian homes in Ocean City and thought it would be a good match for one of her projects.
Xandy's e-book, Jersey Shore Knits was published this week and has been a huge hit on Ravelry. The pattern my yarn was used for is called "Seashells" and uses 2 skeins of 3 different colorways of Woolbearers Fingering Weight.

I've already downloaded all the patterns and will start this real soon.

It is so great to see you out this up, I cannot wait to share. You're always humble about your yarns, but they rival other brands. They're unique since they have the slightest color variation, a trademark look of semi solid yarn which most fingering weight colorwork yarns lack.
Woolbearers yarn is definitely some of the best in my stash.
I love this pattern and have been meaning to get around to trying her stacked increases technique. Her whole collection is great. I had the opportunity to meet Xandy at Vogue Live and was very impressed. Can't wait to see your version.
