This started with a skein of yarn that I wanted to feature in a lacy design: Lottie Knits Desert Rose 4-ply in a variegated colorway called ‘Oh How I Burn for You’. Who could resist that! The yarn is a luxury blend of baby camel and silk. I decided to combine this with a gradient set - and I chose 4 colors from a TedKnitsUK Earth Tones gradient set in merino and nylon. The yarns are both a light fingering weight. The original 5-color version is pictured here.

Three relatively simple lace patterns are featured: Baby Leaf; Fir Cone; and Chevrons. Test knitters who completed the project - with my thanks and gratitude: Irinashaar (a 3-color version) and PurrsAndLace (single-color version). See photos of those versions on their project pages.
