Queen of the Waves

by Ilga Leja

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...
