Innisfree

I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made:
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee;
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet's wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart's core.
 
William Butler Yeats -- The Lake Isle of Innisfree 

Innisfree is a modern take on the classic cabled, knit in a super bulky yarn on large needles. 
It requires approximately 220 yards of a super bulky yarn and knits up quickly. 
Ideal for a last-minute gift!
