Audrey!!!!
June 2nd, 2007
Check it out! I finished Audrey! Yay!
Pattern: Audrey by Kim Hargreaves in Rowan 35.
Yarn: Calmer in the discontinued Pool colorway. I used 7 balls.
Needles: Size 5 and 6 Denise.
Started: April 2005
Finished: May 31 2007
I have had this Calmer in my stash longer than any other. This was the yarn purchase that began my yarn-buying binge of 2005. It was more money than I had ever spent on yarn before and when I bought it I couldn’t believe it did it! And then I got over it and bought more 
.
Here is a picture of Audrey on. As you can see it’s a bit clingy, as anything ribbed is going to be. I’m a little bit self -oncious about that. But nothing that a little bit of blocking can’t cure.
In spinning news, I made my first Etsy purchase! I bought some beautiful Yarn Pirate roving:
So. Pretty.
Have a great weekend! Or what’s left of it

SO pretty, Moni! I have some yarn in my stash like that - I really need to knit it up
I love the way this turned out. You could probably dress it up really nicely with a skirt too!

It’’s lovely. The colour and design really suit you and no, it’s not unduly clingly.

that’s one good-looking FO. I have a bag of Calmer burning a hole in my stash too. Congrats on finishing a beautiful piece.

WOW! Audrey looks great and looks lovely on you - though there is nothing worse than feeling self conscious in a sweater even when it DOES look good on you. Great knitting - fast too!
Can’t wait to see the roving spun up - I was just looking at that the other day.
