Needles: #4 for ribbing, #6 for pattern
Dates: December 30-February 13
I had intended to give this to my mom for her birthday (or mine, a week later) but there just wasn’t enough time. So happy Valentine’s Day!
I took a break from this project to do Multnomah and start February Lady because I was seriously considering re-doing the arm holes. They just seemed awfully big, in a way that wouldn’t be flattering. In the end I just decided to do a greater than average amount of ribbing around the arm holes and neck holes, and it turned out fine.
This is the same yarn I used to make Glasgow Lace 3.5 years ago and it’s been sitting around ever since. I knew it had to be something for my mom, it just took me awhile to decide what!
It looks fantastic! I queued this one right away. Love it.
Looks like it turned out great. Good luck with your spinning!
Very pretty! I love the way the texture really shows in the yarn you used. Looks fantastic!
Ooh! I like that! The stitch pattern looks great with the yarn you picked. I like the deep ribbing on the arms too. Great mod!
Just lovely! The ribbing looks really nice on the armholes — I think it was a wise choice.
Great color — so different from the one in the Knitty pattern.
That is so pretty! I love the texture on it. That is really, really nice!
I LOVE this! I so wish i could knit, but it looks like it’s not in my genetics
Or either I’m probably just lazy… it’s just that knitting is so much slower compared to crochet!
