Oops, I've forgotten to post about some finished projects.
In no particular order, here they are:
Sirdar Denim Ultra Sweater
I started this in March 2007 and finished in October. It sat around waiting to be sewn up for ages. It came out okay, a little short in the body, but I wear it quite a lot.
Debbie Bliss Not-Hooded Striped Top
I started this in September 2006 (yup) and finished in January 2008 (yup). Again, it sat around for ages waiting to be sewn up. It's a miracle it still fits - just goes to show DB's sizing is generous! It's hoodless, because otherwise it wouldn't have been finished forever... I love Baby Cashmerino. DD likes it, she always says "Mummy made this for me" whenever she sees it. Awww...
Sunday Market Shawl
Made from two balls of Noro Cash Iroha, I love it! Free online pattern, thanks Knitfish.
Woo hoo! Finally blocked and ready to photograph.
She took seven months (on and off), three needle changes, some swearing (when I discovered I hadn't picked up all the errata - you can't tell unless you look really closely) and 767 yards (700 m) of Fiddlesticks Country Silk yarn (in colour Lagoon).
I started with Denise interchangeables but it was virtually impossible to slide the yarn overs across, so I bought a long bamboo fixed circular and that was better. Then I got some Knit Picks Options from Get Knitted at Ally Pally last year and they were so much easier. Things flew along after that. And the stitch count was a lot less by then, so I guess that helped too!
I was going to get a photo by the sea but it's too darn cold, you won't catch me in Brighton on a cold, windy, winters day...
