When I received this beautiful yarn as a gift from my lovely knitster Clare, I knew it would become a very special design. The yarn is from Pixie Yarn in the Betty colourway. There have been quite a few iterations but this pattern worked from the get go! The yarn is named after Sophie of Pixie Yarn’s grandmother but as a Swiftie, Betty will always remind me of the “teenage love triangle” on Taylor Swift’s Folklore album (2020).
