Steady Blue, Clear View

"Steady blue, clear view,

Flashing blue, clouds due

Steady red, rain ahead

Flashing red, snow instead."

So goes the rhyme Bostonians use to interpret the color of the weather beacon on top of the Old John Hancock Building. I struggled to come up with a name for this colorway, which is inspired by the image of dusk in Boston's Back Bay. I'm always drawn to the way that the dark blue sky makes the buildings stand out, turning skyscrapers into silhouettes that are illuminated from the inside when people turn their lights on. I'd been dreaming of this color from the beginning of this collection, and I can't wait to cast on with it as soon as I can.
