Sundby
A blocked and ready-for-wearing Sundby.
Pattern: Sundby by Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton in Noro Cornelia Tuttle Hamilton Collection Book 1.
Yarn: Noro Kochoran in colorway 36. The pattern calls for 5 hanks for the size medium (which is the size I knitted). I only used about 4 hanks for the knitting part and a smigen of yarn from the 5th hank for seaming.
Needles: size 10.5 - Denise interchangeables.
Completed: 2/24/05
Here is a shot of the back. Pretty much looks exactly like the front.
This was *such* an easy and quick knit. I love that. Seaming wasn’t that much of a pain, either. Normally I hate seaming but this wasn’t so bad. blocking it really helped A LOT with the “too clingy” nature of the ribbing before blocking. Now it fits perfectly and it doesn’t feel too tight on me. Overall, a really fun project and I am extremelly happy with the finished product! Yay!
Did you notice that I got my hair cut? I got really sick of the my hair and decided on Saturday to get it chopped. I almost got it cut really short - pixie short. I love that really short pixie-style haircut. But my stylist talked me out of going for something so extreme. I am so glad she did. I think if I had gone too short I would have been freaked out. I really like how it turned out. It feels sooooo much better and it is so incredibly maintenance-free.
Over the weekend I:
- Ran out of yarn for Earl. I will have to buy some more recycled silk on payday in order to finish.
- Started my PIP Along project. No pics just yet. want to see if what I have decided to do will work.
- knitted up a swatch for the Lucky Clover Wrap. and achieved gauge. Yay! I really like the lace pattern. It’s really easy and stress-free.
Guess what today is? My 1 year knit-blog anniversary. Happy Blog Birthday to me! boy, have I come a long way since then. And I’ve met some really cool people along the way.
Happy Monday!
