The Cayuga Cardigan is a half-length lacy cardigan, featuring a cathedral lace edging along the bottom edge and on the sleeve cuffs. I originally designed this cardigan back in 2010, when it was Sanguine Gryphon Skinny Bugga!
The cathedral lace motif is reminiscent of the clock tower at Cornell University, where I went to university. The Cornell campus, and the clock tower, lies on the top of a great hill overlooking Cayuga Lake. The view is absolutely gorgeous, and is, believe it or not, one of the reasons I chose to go to Cornell. Yup, the view. And the beautiful campus. Good thing it happens to be a good school. 😉
This re-knit version of the Cayuga Cardigan is knit in Verdant Gryphon Eidos in the colour Fenrir. I love this colour, and it is quite appropriate, as its gray is reminiscent of the stone clock tower.
In honour of this reknit version, I’m having a 25% off sale for this pattern from now until Aug 13, 2013. To get the coupon code, please visit the Knit & Knag facebook page. There will be more special sales posted there in the future, so I’d encourage you to like the page too.
Hi! I’ve always loved this pattern. But–Verdant Gryphon doesn’t sell Skinny Bugga; they sell Bugga, Eidos, Traveller, Mithril, Mondegreen, and Codex. Cephalopod Yarns, the other company formed by one of the founders of Sanguine Gryphon, does sell Skinny Bugga, along with Bugga, Traveller, and Beastie.
And–I can’t find a Skinny Bugga called Fenrir. Could that color be Wheel Bug
(CY Y024)?
Glad you like it!
You’re quite right. It was re-knit in Verdant Gryphon Eidos, in the colour Fenrir.
