Rheinbeck is Tomorrow! I wanted to let you know that I may be a square on your blogger bingo card. I will be there with the hubby, and another couple. She knits, but I think he is afraid of sheep. I think we can sway him into the allure of fiber festivals...what do you all think?
I found a new favorite etsy shop, Moon Rover. Lacey's handdyed/handspun merino is beautiful and so squishy! I received my custom order that will become a BSJ for my college roomie's baby to be. Niblet even likes it...
Well, ok... Niblet also likes needles...I have also been knitting. Finally a photo...although crappy quality. I've been working on the Textured Tunic from Fitted Knits. I'm using Elsebeth Lavold Silky Tweed on 7s. The gauge was so off for this yarn that I followed the cast on and raglan increases for the Boatneck Bluebell pattern. I made quite a lot of mods so far, including a hemmed neckline, longer torso, but shorter "tunic-y" section...
I'm working on the sleeves now, and I'm taking suggestions - should I make long, belled sleeves (since this is a tunic), or short sleeves that end after the 5" of box stitch (right above the elbow)? HELP!Thats it for today's update...See you at Rheinbeck!!!
See you at Rhinebeck! You're on my card! I really like your tunic. I vote for short sleeves.
ReplyDeleteoh, i'm going on sunday this year, but have a blast!
ReplyDeletei'm so jealous that you are making that sweater -- i've been itching to. i say bell sleeves.
i started that sweater i swear 4 times i just couldn't get the gauge or stitch number correct so i did the same thing as u with the increases and such. how did it come out in the end. i loved the way it looked so much i just couldn't give up on it.
