We've been knitting up our exclusive Patina yarn here at the shop, and this week I'm sharing our projects with you and giving away yarn and patterns to knit your own.
On Monday, I showed off what Rachael chose for her Patina project. Today, I'm sharing shop-manager Heather's sweater.
Heather chose the Mary Mary sweater designed by Andrea Black, and paired it with the Jodhpur, India colorway of Patina. She used 1.5 skeins to knit the size 36. The result is a feminine and flattering cardigan that can easily be dressed up or down. And using Patina for the sweater means that the finished fabric looks dressy without sacrificing easy wash and long-lasting wear.
Want to knit this combo yourself? In the comments below, tell me what color of Patina you'd choose (by 5pm on Monday, November 11) and I'll randomly choose one commenter to win two skeins of your choice of color and the pattern. I'll also choose two other winners to win the pattern only, courtesy of designer Andrea Black.
Looking forward to the new colors we're adding later this month? Make sure you know the latest about what SSYC has to offer by signing up for our e-newsletter.
Antelope Canyon, just gorgeous!

I would use the same color Heather used, Jodhpur, India. Love the sweater and love, love, love the color. It's always nice to see the yarn colors knit up.
Posted by: Patricia Richardson | November 06, 2013 at 08:51 AM
Love the sweater pattern! I would use Easter Island - it's such a complex color, but still neutral enough to match with anything.
Posted by: mellenknits | November 06, 2013 at 08:53 AM
Rose Window is the way to go!
Posted by: J to the D | November 06, 2013 at 09:09 AM
I too love the pattern and I would knit it in Antelope Canyon. Love that color!
Posted by: Debby | November 06, 2013 at 09:16 AM
Antelope canyon or Rose window would make a beautiful sweater, shawl or scarf.
Posted by: Donna | November 06, 2013 at 09:39 AM
I'd use Angkor Wat.
Posted by: ikkinlala | November 06, 2013 at 10:23 AM
I think I need a brown cardigan, so it's Angkor Wat for me
Posted by: Rebekah | November 06, 2013 at 10:26 AM
I would use Lake Hillier and knit it for my niece. It would be perfect for her!
Posted by: Beth L Ruiter | November 06, 2013 at 10:27 AM
What a perfect sweater to make for my daughter for Christmas! She has a great pair of red shoes that will look fantastic with St. Basils.
Posted by: Beth Boger | November 06, 2013 at 10:34 AM
I love Antelope Canyon, Angkor Wat or Jodhpur India for this cardigan. All the colors are fantastic.
Posted by: Susan Hill | November 06, 2013 at 10:54 AM
I would also pick jodhpur, what a rich color.
Posted by: Mary brown | November 06, 2013 at 10:55 AM
Beautiful sweater and Jodhpur India would be my choice! I love those blues.
Thank you.
Posted by: sharon | November 06, 2013 at 11:06 AM
Honestly, I think I'd go with Jodhpur India, too! It's beautiful. She did an excellent job.
Posted by: Bonnie | November 06, 2013 at 11:26 AM
Would love this in Rose Window.
Posted by: Sue | November 06, 2013 at 11:49 AM
Antelope canyon!
Posted by: Janene | November 06, 2013 at 12:09 PM
Angkor Wat would match my wardrobe perfectly.
Posted by: Maureen | November 06, 2013 at 12:37 PM
I think I would use St. Basil. It would be lovely over a black tee. So femine and looks great on Heather.
Posted by: Jan | November 06, 2013 at 12:49 PM
Antelope Canyon for the holidays and every day.
Posted by: newjerseylaura | November 06, 2013 at 12:55 PM
I would love to knit this in Rose Window.
Posted by: Leslie Fehr | November 06, 2013 at 12:56 PM
Antelope Canyon is BEAUTIFUL!!! I'd have to go with that color!
Posted by: Susan James | November 06, 2013 at 01:01 PM
I would knit it up in Easter Island
Posted by: Shannon Hylton | November 06, 2013 at 01:02 PM
I'd definitely choose Lake Hillier and knit a pair of socks for my friend whose last name IS Hillier!
Posted by: Patti | November 06, 2013 at 01:04 PM
I would love to do it in Atlantis!! So love this color.
Posted by: Kelly Lussier | November 06, 2013 at 01:05 PM
I would love to knit it up in Jodhpur India. Or maybe Antelope Canyon for the holidays.
Posted by: Karma | November 06, 2013 at 01:06 PM
I would use the Rose Window colorway to knit this cardigan. It would take more than 2 hanks for me as I am a large woman.
Posted by: Linda Hensens | November 06, 2013 at 01:07 PM
Oooh I love Hanging Gardens. And green sweaters make my red hair stand out :) That Mary Mary sweater is adorable!
Posted by: Kate | November 06, 2013 at 01:08 PM
Have to be Angkor Wat for the sweater.
Posted by: Sara | November 06, 2013 at 01:09 PM
I would use Rose Window!
(I want to purchase a third skein in the same dye lot)
Love that sweater!!!
Posted by: Karen | November 06, 2013 at 01:09 PM
Easter Island please!
Posted by: Lisa Barrett | November 06, 2013 at 01:11 PM
I love them all, esp. Atlantis, but I'm torn between that and Easter island... But I'd choose Atlantis!
Posted by: Betsy | November 06, 2013 at 01:11 PM
I love the rich purple of Rose Window!
Posted by: Penny Jeffrey | November 06, 2013 at 01:14 PM
I'd choose Patina Rose ... such a nice blend of purple and lighter reddish colors. Reminds me of fall and winter.
Posted by: Lynn | November 06, 2013 at 01:18 PM
Rose Window looks beautiful. Would love to have that.
Posted by: Rhonda Atkinson | November 06, 2013 at 01:18 PM
I think that would knit up so lovely in Easter Island!
Posted by: Julie Branham | November 06, 2013 at 01:18 PM
Rose Window! Judging by the previous comments, this seems to be a very popular color!
Posted by: jeanne | November 06, 2013 at 01:21 PM
Definitely the Rose Window, it's stunning!
Posted by: Mary Jo | November 06, 2013 at 01:24 PM
Oh I would like it in Hanging Garden so
lovely thanks
Posted by: doreen | November 06, 2013 at 01:24 PM
I would use Easter Island. The colors are all gorgeous but I think the sweater would be especially lovely in that colorway. It would go with everything!Fingers crossed that I get lucky!
Posted by: Ellen | November 06, 2013 at 01:25 PM
Antelope Canyon, without hesitation!
Posted by: Laura | November 06, 2013 at 01:25 PM
I'd choose Jodhpur India. I'm a total sucker for blues and especially tone-on-tone yarns.

Posted by: Hazel Blumberg-McKee | November 06, 2013 at 01:26 PM
I would love to do it in Lighthouse of Alex. Love bright colors!
Posted by: Beverly Shearon | November 06, 2013 at 01:29 PM
i would knit it up in Taj Mahal! So pretty!
Posted by: Jessica Fraser | November 06, 2013 at 01:29 PM
Easter Island, with pretty pearl buttons!
Posted by: Bobbi | November 06, 2013 at 01:31 PM
I would use Easter Island. Or maybe Antelope Canyon. So hard to choose!
Posted by: kat | November 06, 2013 at 01:39 PM
Jodhpur India would be my choice. I think the sweater in that color would look great with my blue jeans!
Posted by: Karen Pettyjohn | November 06, 2013 at 01:43 PM
Antelope Canyon, of course.
Posted by: Vickie | November 06, 2013 at 01:45 PM
Easter Island or Taj Majal.....subtle or triumphant? Hard to choose. The color of turning leaves or the gray sky behind them.
Posted by: Martha Anne | November 06, 2013 at 01:47 PM
The Easter Island is callling my name.
Posted by: Shirley Beard | November 06, 2013 at 01:47 PM
Easter Island would be beautiful yarn for this sweater. Pretty.
Posted by: DanaRT | November 06, 2013 at 01:50 PM
I adore Rose Window; so beautiful!
Posted by: Deena Crossett | November 06, 2013 at 01:54 PM
Easter Island would be perfect. Great year round color!
Posted by: Judy | November 06, 2013 at 01:56 PM
Atlantis! A scarf for my daughter--her favorite color!
Posted by: KathyS | November 06, 2013 at 01:57 PM
I'm having a hard time telling (on my work monitor) what the difference is between Lake Hillier and St Basils, but if I'm correct guessing that Hillier is pinker, then that would be my choice.
Posted by: sprite | November 06, 2013 at 02:11 PM
Easter Island! It would be lovely to have those colors running through my fingers on a long project.
Posted by: Jane H | November 06, 2013 at 02:17 PM
I think Easter Island.
Posted by: Rose Birchall | November 06, 2013 at 02:19 PM
I would knit the cardi in St. Basils. That is one of the three colors I got this summer and I love how it looks. And since I am apparently knee deep in holiday-prep, I feel it would reflect the holiday season well.

The antelope canyon would be great for this.
Posted by: Laura | November 06, 2013 at 02:29 PM
So hard to choose, they are all gorgeous! But Antelope Canyon really made me swoon!
Posted by: Heather Bucci | November 06, 2013 at 02:29 PM
My color choice would be Atlantis, something about that shade just screams sweater and a pair of socks!
Posted by: Elizabeth Ann McGovern | November 06, 2013 at 02:32 PM
Angkor Wat is a winner in my book!!
Posted by: Susan | November 06, 2013 at 02:34 PM
I love the Antelope Canyon! Great for drinking red wine in...
Posted by: Nikki Bush | November 06, 2013 at 02:34 PM
I love Durango!
Posted by: Shannon Adams | November 06, 2013 at 02:36 PM
No doubt about it, I would choose Atlantis! That is my all time favorite color!
Posted by: Susan Gressman | November 06, 2013 at 02:37 PM
Wow! Love them all but would choose "Easter Island" to wear at the "Fifty Shades of Grey" movie next year.
Posted by: Ruthann Hakuschak | November 06, 2013 at 02:38 PM
I would use Atlantis. It is beauutiful!
Posted by: Sharon Edmondson | November 06, 2013 at 02:41 PM

Posted by: Holly Waldrop | November 06, 2013 at 02:50 PM
Machu Picchu! Hands down!
Posted by: Lyn | November 06, 2013 at 02:57 PM
It would have to be Antelope Canyon for me!
Posted by: Melanie | November 06, 2013 at 03:06 PM
I'd go with the Easter Island. Perhaps a scarf would be finished by Easter. Lovely colors!
Posted by: Martha | November 06, 2013 at 03:08 PM
Ohhh, I've had this pattern in my queue for quite a while now! I'd love to make it in Taj Mahal!
Posted by: Richelle Chambers Krotts | November 06, 2013 at 03:09 PM
Easter Island! I love the different grey colors in it.
Posted by: Kristine M. | November 06, 2013 at 03:14 PM
Easter Island is lovely. Like a hint of spring on a cloudy day!
Posted by: Joan Grahlfs | November 06, 2013 at 03:14 PM
I am torn. Can't decide on Atlantis, Lake Hillier, or St. Basils. Or do I want Easter Island? They are all so lovely that I would take any of them.
Posted by: SoozB | November 06, 2013 at 03:18 PM
I would love to knit that cardigan in Easter Island. I love that color and the pattern!
Posted by: Debbie | November 06, 2013 at 03:19 PM
Atlantis or Antelope Canyon would be super.
Posted by: Susan Sanders | November 06, 2013 at 03:24 PM
For this, I would pick Rose Window. It's really luscious!

Posted by: mary | November 06, 2013 at 03:35 PM
Angkor Wat is such a warm, inviting shade of brown, it would have to be my choice.
Posted by: Leta | November 06, 2013 at 03:38 PM
Easter Island for sure!!!
Posted by: Stephanie Lewis | November 06, 2013 at 03:56 PM

Posted by: Miriam H. | November 06, 2013 at 04:55 PM
St Basils is my choice, love it!
Posted by: Nancy Butler | November 06, 2013 at 05:04 PM
I'd use Lake Hillier for a sweater for my niece.
Posted by: Judy | November 06, 2013 at 05:09 PM
Either Lake Hillier or St. Basils--love those reds!
Posted by: Ann | November 06, 2013 at 05:11 PM

Taj Mahal has a beautiful combination of pink and orange two of my favorite colors in one skein :)
