Road to Rhinebeck (or can I knit a sweater in 8 days)
On Oct 8 I looked at a big, beautiful pile of Anzula yarn and wondered, can I design and knit a sweater in 8 days in time to wear it to Rhinebeck? Let’s see how I did in my pursuit of
The Rhinebeck Sweater
For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you saw my whole story. Instagram is a wonderful way to share pictures and I decided to use the instagram story to tell the tale. Come on by and follow the fun.
So how did this crazy 8 day sweater experience go . . . pretty good. I’m really happy with it! It’s super soft and cozy, has some fun details at hem, cuff and neck, fully fashioned shaping, and best of all . . . it’s the first sweater I think I’ve EVER designed that’s all stockinette, that means it will be CRAZY easy to knit this at other gauges or to fit you perfectly.
Stay tuned for the pattern. Make sure you subscribe to my newsletter for the a coupon.
What do you think it should be named? Leave me a comment. So far the names pulling into the lead from Instagram are:
- Ring Around Rhinebeck
- Rings of Saturn
- Jetson
- Space Oddity
What do you think??
Edited to Add: It was named JETSON!!

I love it! I like Ring Around Rhinebeck!
It makes me think “Mint Julep at the Derby”

Race to Rhinebeck
How can I get this pattern? Since you knit it in 8 days, I’d call it either Chanukah or Miracle.
Just stayed tuned. The newsletter group will be the first to know when the pattern is released!
I like Ring Around Rhinebeck.
What popped into my head was Fall Into Rhinebeck. 🙂
Day of Eight
I feel that Road to Rhinebeck is perfect as is.

Road to Rhinebeck was my first thought!
But my BF said “Outta Space “
I saw you at Rhinebeck. When I saw your sweater the name that came to mind was Judy. As in Judy Jetson.
Some great suggestions. Key words that “ring”: ring or rings, rhinebeck, space, eight. However, I love Cordelia. Great suggestion. Do add to that theme, Cordelia’s Rings.
RE: sweater name
how about “Eight Days A Week” ?
Sugar Belle. Reminiscent of Aunt Babe’s handmade wedding cake sugar bells.
