Naming Rights

Naming my last few patterns was easy. The name just kind of popped up in my head and stuck. This one, however, has been giving me some trouble. So what do you do when you don't know what to do? Head to the blog!

How about this: I'll share some sneak peek photos with you and you help me come up with a pattern name? In return, the giver of the name chosen will receive a copy of the released pattern gifted to you through Ravelry (or emailed if you don't have a Rav account).




Ready for a few facts to help in the naming?
  • A long-sleeved tee for boys (sizes 3months -12 years)
  • Knit in fingering weight to be a transitional winter to spring piece
  • Yarn color called Trusty Rusty

If you're interested in helping me with this dilemma  leave a comment with your idea below as well as your Ravelry id or an email where I can reach you. I'll announce the winner the day of the pattern release which will most likely be around April 1st!

Thank you!

  1. This sweater makes we think of weekend walks through nature paths during the spring and fall where the little ones will have their curiosity spiked from the emerging buds on trees, blooming flowers, and falling leaves and of course the puddle jumping. I great name would be the 'Weekender'. My Rav ID is AshleysKnitts.

  2. I love baby knits that don't look like a baby would wear them. The stitch pattern , construction and even the color remind me of something is knit for my husband (if he wore hand knits that is!). This looks like a "grown up " sweater do my vote is for "Little Man"
    My Rav ID is BinaBKnits.

  4. Beatiful sweater. It reminds me of the sturdy, warm clothes of pioneers and explorers, and would be just the thing to keep a young "Trailblazer" warm.

  5. "Windrow" as it reminds me of a field of mown hay with the lines on it, or else "Spring Growth" as it could be new seeds breaking through the soil.
    Sewsable on Ravelry

  6. Pebbles as the stitch pattern reminds me of pebbles and little boys love to pick up pebbles! Johnston4kids on rav.

  7. My first thought when I saw the texture was waffles. So I'm going with Chicken and Waffles. Because it's for boys. If it were for girls, I'd feel less silly.

  8. I would name it "Romp and Circumstance", as a play on "Pomp and Circumstance," because I can imagine a little boy marching around outside looking for mischief, while staying plenty warm in this top.

  9. I think of my little red wagon when I see that! You know, the old fashioned kind made of metal that would rust when you left it outside after a day playing in the mud and dirt? So "little red wagon" is what I would call it. :)

  14. I'm not very clever with word play, but to me, this pattern kind of reminded me of train tracks and more specifically the ties and gravel that goes between them. Kind of like in this image http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d4/Train_tracks_in_Coledale.jpg

    so .... I'm thinking something to do with trains?? maybe your local train line or company?? sorry I probably haven't helped at all!

  15. Well since you're in Akron and you like to hike, what about something having to do with the Towpath?
