Most people hate the rain, but I love it. Rain always gives me ‘permission’ to hang home and knit. I love to sit at home and listen to the rain while I throw on a good movie and knit all day. This stitch pattern reminds me of cascading drops, pooling together in puddles on the ground. Using the intarsia method to separate bands of color in contrasting stitch patterns adds interest and additional texture to a cozy sweater—perfect for that rainy day.
