OK OK I promised the pictures of Ashley’s Meadow Flowers shawl knit in Alchemy yarns kid mohair blend last Monday. Sue me. First I ended up not really blocking it. I just washed that baby and laid her out to dry. Here is a bad picture of the finished shawl:
As you can see there is no edging. I could tell I wouldn’t have enough yarn so worked a few extra plain rows at top between last flower row and eyelet row so that the top edge would more closely match the sides~ in the original pattern there is one plain row between flower and eyelet row but a minimum of 4 sts between yo increase and flower petal.
To make up for the wretched picture I show you the shawl being modeled by my adorable 6 year old. Note that the shawl is more than large enough for her sans stretching and edging ;^>
And:
Altogether now~ awwwwwwwwwwwww. Knitterly evenings you all
This pullover is from a new book that is gonna be called Kiddie something. Yes you read right. Kiddie. I personally cannot imagine spending the money for a childs garment but hey I am a poor type of person. You might be a rich kinda person. And amazingly the width of both of these garments is the same. Yep the same width, sleeve length, and depth from armhole to cuffs [both hem and sleeve hem] The big difference is the armhole depth. Thats OK. I have always known that grown women are supposed to be the circumference of a 5 year old. Anyway this is what I have been doing behind your backs.
