At last!!!! I have actually finished the Anemone Cardi that I started back in May. The truth is I got a bit bored with it.
If you don't know me I get bored if a pattern is too easy and this one was a bit of a challenge at first as it is intarsia but once the pattern got into your head it was quite boring. I do like the way that the Rowan Cotton Glace hangs although it was difficult to keep neat whilst making up. This is by far my bug bear. If I could pay a super duper finisher to sew up my garment I would.
If anybody else wants to make this garment one piece of advice - put 6 buttons on the garment not the 4 that is recommended I just think it would look better.
Please ignore the hair - I was having a bad hair day.............
Talking of hair - I am in the process of knitting up a Knits in the City doll to be our mascot - I am fashioning her on the website drawing. The only thing is the hair is very difficult to do..... Will post her pic when I have finished. We need to give her a name... Any suggestions??
Love the cardi Chris. Look forward to seeing your next creation
ReplyDeleteDont like the hair though.
ReplyDeleteFor the hair on the mascot have you considered felting it? I think it would look good felted unless you want seperate strands for the hair.
