but now it's done and i really hope that you all like it
as much as i do ;)
....aaaand because some of you waited so long,
the pattern will be only €3.50 till the end of may
get you copy here
now to a few other projects...
emerald test is done and my lovely testknitting ladies
did amazing jobs
the pattern will be published in 2 weeks (june)
working on a more wintry (2 color) version right now - hopefully i will be done with it soon
i also did some testknits lately:
this beautiful tee is called Tschilp and will be part of
Anke's birdsong sweaters
seamless top down construction with a beautiful neckline
pattern. tschilp by ankestrick (soon to be published)
yarn. sur by lanas stop
needles. 3.5 mm
the only modification i made was to shorten the sleeves
......
she asked me 3 weeks ago to test this beauty, but with all
the things going on here i feared not to be able to make it in
time....i told her so and guess what she did?
she sent me the pattern anyway, just in case i would
feel like knitting it
ha!...i tried to ignore the pattern
about 2 weeks i really tried to ignore it
...then i picked up my needles (hahahaha!)
when i first looked at the pattern i could see the stripes
...yes, i could see them!
so there are lots of mods in here:
. no eyelets - i did m1l and m1r increases
. only 2 sts between the increase lines
. started with the numbers of the largest size to get a
wider v-neck
. increased to the numbers of xs for shoulder width
. icreased to numbers of size s, cause i was working
at a tighter gauge
. added a few more sts to the underarm co, for a little more
room at the upper arms
. added more rounds to the bottom due to my gauge
......
this one is currently in testing
i named this marsa-alam
cause its colors remind me of this place between the sahara desert and the red sea where we spent our holidays the last years
i planned to publish this in july, so please stay tuned ;)
......
and this will be a gift for you (yes! a freebie!!!)
as soon as i have found 1 or 2 speedy testers for it ;)
so come on ladies!!!!
a simple, yet effective striped shawl to keep you happy
hope you all have good days
