This is the first purple and gold piece, with color names "curry" and "eggplant" from Dale of Norway. It's beautifully soft. The stitch is a variation pattern on stockinette with right twist then left twist in the knit row, then a purl row. You cast on multiples of four. I like that the colors are not straight purple and gold.

On the library front: My library is purchasing blogging software to be used for various library communications. I'll probably be shifting my newsletter on scholarly communication and open access to a blog format. So that means four blogs for me. How did this happen?
