A local yarn store -- Fibre Space in Old Town Alexandria -- had a Miss Babs trunk show several weeks ago. One of the samples was Clockwork, by Stephen West, knit in Sojourn. Sojourn is a very soft, heavy fingering weight cashmere & silk blend yarn. I picked skeins of navy (blue) and nori (green), but when I began knitting I saw that the contrast was far too low to show off the stripe pattern. So I sent off for some lighter green (coventry), which worked well. It's finished and blocked, and is even softer now. The pattern is basic garter stitch stripes, with slip stitch contrasting columns of stockinette stitches.
