I present Bay
February 22nd, 2006
She’s ablocked and finished. And I wore her today.
Pattern: Bay from Rowan’s Magazine #36
Yarn: Rowan Kidsilk Haze. Two balls of Nightly. 4 balls of Pearl.
Needles: Denise sizes 5 and 7. Size 3 addi turbos for the cuffs, neckline, and bottom hem.
Started: December something, 2005. Sometime in the middle of the month.
Finished: February 22, 2006.
Read all about my progress here.
Here’s another shot of the front:
And a shot of the back:
And a closeup of the neckline:
I really, really like it! I wore it today and got lots of compliments. I loved knitting with Kidsilk Haze. It’s a beautiful yarn. This was my first Rowan pattern, too. Not scary at all. (for some reason, I have been daunted by Rowan patterns.) Overall, a great experience.

Oh, goodie, it’s perfect! Your last post put me on the edge of my seat a little… you know, the anticipation of will it fit or won’t it… But you did a great job with Bay and I’m so glad that it turned out so well. Very cute!

I am so happy to hear that you are happy with it!! Sometimes it is those last minute touches and putting it on that does the trick! That happened to me with one of my knits. Your Bay is so light and pretty - really great work, Moni! I am so happy for you
