FO Friday

Yes, I have finally finished something! It's the Gathered Cardi from Knit1. I was so excited to finish it, that I didn't bother to block it.

Not the best photo in the world, but I felt it showed the stitch detail better.

Started: 5-27-08 Finished 7-26-08 I used 4.5 balls of Cotton Ease in Almond on size 9 circs. The next time-if there's a next time-I will use a smaller needle. It fits great, but I definitely prefer a tighter gauge. I just love the vintage button I found for it. There's a story there, but I won't bore you with it. It's a coin, and just the right size. It took me forever, because i am easily bored with stockinette, and those ever time consuming rows of seed stitch, but it was all worth it.

Next up? Not Tomato....it's another drops design. Stay tuned.
