Oh My Darlin'....

I apologize about being a liar. I promised to be back yesterday with an FO and I wasn't - the knitting was finished, I just needed to weave in ends and steam block my Clementine... which of course I didn't do yesterday. But I did that this morning and she's finished now:



Pattern: Clementine Shawlette (rav link) by Michele Rose Orne
Made for: Holiday 08 Gift
Needle: US 3 / 3.25 mm Inox circs
Yarn: Dream in Color Smooshy
Colorway: Good Luck Jade
Started: September 18, 2008
Finished: September 21, 2008

This was a super quick knit and easy to memorize - great for zoning out in front of the television (which I happen to do a lot). With this pattern, you knit the two ends separately and then use the kitchener stitch to sew the two together to keep the "trees" going in the same direction. Stitching the two ends together took absolutely forever (about half of the Emmy's was spent fusing) and gave me a neck strain, but it's done now!

I loved this yarn. I really wanted to make a hat with the leftovers, but there definitely wasn't enough for that - you can see how much yarn was left in the top right corner of the above picture. Boo.
