Two FOs!

I like how this has turned out. The sweater has a few really delicate details, but it has a little substance to it, so it's not too fragile feeling. The Provence is great - it didn't have a splitting problem, like some cottons, and the finished sweater doesn't feel heavy at all - it may grow a little as I wear it often, but that's just cotton, right? Drapey.


What I really love is the color and the little bit of sheen - it's going to look great with a delicate white top and some gold jewlery this summer.

Or on my pasty skin right now. In a too bright room.

You can see - it fits me perfectly - I'm thinking I should check it out on a few more bodies before I put it out there for anyone else. So yes, I will be writing it up, but after the test knitting.


Here's the second FO - Hattie's Rose Garden Scarf out of Amber's handspun. I love this too.

The pattern was cool - like a clapotis, but not so boring because of the little cables. I'm thinking I may do one more of these out of the handspun I picked up in NH last year.... A bigger wrappy type one. The fun part is dropping those stitches - crazy.
