Shocking isn’t it? I would have posted this even sooner but we have had a string of horrible weather which meant bad light for photos. Not that the ones I got today were oh so fantabulous but they were better than yesterday’s attempt. So shall we get on with the projects…
Pattern: Garter Yoke Cardi
Yarn: Classic Elite Waterlily
Needles: Size 8 ( I think)
Size: Me ( I think I made a 40)
Pattern Notes: Easy and mostly fun pattern…I am not sure its a good fit for my football shoulders though. I also wish I had made the sleeves full length and a bit more fitted.
Would I knit it again? I doubt it. I’m really leaning towards finer gauge sweaters these days. Also no modeled shot since I look like a beached whale these days.
Pattern: Ringwood Gloves
Yarn: Dream in Color Classy Gothic Rose
Needles: KP size 5
Size: Small
Pattern Notes: When knitty came out in the fall I saw them and fell deeply and hopelessly in love. This was an awesome pattern to make. They were fast, fun and the directions were very clear. I had some concerns about running out of yarn since I didn’t even have a full skein of the DIC but I still have tons left so I can see making them out of leftovers in the future. Now that being said I did have to rip back some of the fingers since I had cast on the additional stitches way too tightly.
Would I knit it again? Hell yes.
Pattern: Citron
Yarn: Madeline Tosh Eyre Light “Cousteau”
Needles: Size 6 KP
Size: One size fits all…
Pattern Notes: The perfect knit for when I made it. It was mostly just comfort knitting with an occasional dash of counting to make sure I hadn’t messed up somewhere along the way. The yarn is heavenly…I can’t say enough good things about it. Now that being said I’m not sure the FO is really me and it might get added to the gift pile. I have big shoulders so this sort of shawl feels a bit wrong when I wear it.
Would I knit it again? I would like to make a straight scarf variation of it.
