Damson
The first time I saw this (thanks, Pat!), I knew I had to knit it. It is Damson by Ysolda Teague.
Yarn: Pagewood Farm Yukon in Really Red; merino superwash, bamboo, nylon; 450 yards. I did not have enough yarn to finish as written, so I did a crochet bind off instead.
Needles: US5
Finished size: 15 inches back neck length
I am working on a second Damson. I expect to have enough yarn to bind off as the pattern specifies, and maybe even add beads.
Between this and your previous post ... well, gee. Your projects always look so nicely finished. Even when I do a nice job with the knitting, my blocking and finishing skills leave much to be desired.

That red yarn is a beautiful shade.
