Street Level: East Capitol Street

For the next edition of Street Level, I thought I'd stay a little closer to home.  I ventured over to East Capitol Street, which is just blocks from the Yellow House.  East Capitol Street radiates from the Capitol out to the eastern edge of the city, where it continues into Maryland.  It and the other Capitol Streets (North and South), form the framework of the city's geographical quadrants.  East Capitol divides the eastern two quadrants of the city (Northeast and my own Southeast). 

East Capitol Street is a quintessential Capitol Hill street.  It is primarily residential, with a sprinkling of businesses mixed in, mostly of the type that have been around forever.  Many of the houses are large, gracious red brick townhouses, with a fair number of original wooden structures as well.  It's a street with a real sense of history.

East Capitol Street

The second sweater in the Eastern Market Collection is the East Capitol Street sweater.  This fresh little unisex sweater is primarily green with a cream lattice pattern.  If I do say so myself, it may be one of my all-time favorite Yellow House Knits sweaters.  East Capitol Street divides the northeast and southeast quadrants of Washington, D.C., and has long been considered a distinguished address on Capitol Hill, with many large and beautiful old homes.  I wanted to create a sweater that does justice to this important street--How did I do?

The East Capitol Street sweater is available here.
