I meant to post this last week but never had the chance. Here she is in all her glory!
Project: Garnstudio Drops Design 96-9
Start Date: End of Sept (?)
End Date: 11-6-2007
Needles Used: Vintage Nylon Circulars #9, #9 aluminum straights for sleeves
Yarn: Caron Simply Soft in Country Blue (doubled)
Project Notes: First off, I want to say that this was an easy project, and Garnstudio did a great job with the instructions. You might remember from an earlier post that I had problems with the chart...evidently, it's meant to be read from left to right, not right to left, which was what I had done wrong originally. The sleeves were to be done on dpns, but I have to admit that I have dpn fear, thus the straights. I got gauge with the Simply Soft doubled. I figured since it's a work item, I wouldn't invest a ton of money on the recommended alpaca---probably would easily have been over $300.00 clams. I made the second size, and the fit is fantastic.
I opted to omit the bobbles on the back since I certainly don't need to appear any larger on the backside. The new baby got in the photo and decided the dress was her new blankie.
It may be awhile before I have another FO, but I'm so pleased with this one because it's boosted my knitting mojo. Happy knitting to all!
