Test knitting is done. I think I passed, whoohoo! Bree is happy with the projects completed, I think.
French Braid Cowl…..Malabrigo Worsted Polar Morn. Needle: 5mm
Size: 28cm x 137cm Blocking Wires: essential, Buttons: East of India
Got rather excited when I was asked to test knit this, so excited, that I knitted non stop, and spend a whole day just knitting in my pyjamas, in my little knitting world, ignoring everyone. Finished a skein in a day.
I couldn’t put it down, we’ve all been there before, love the yarn the pattern, just want to knit all day.
Completed after 4 days, on and off knitting, would have finished it sooner if it wasn’t for my sore arm. I’m pleased with it, very pleased. Love the design. Wasn’t sure about the buttons at first but I think they are growing on me, yes, I think they work.
Obstacles Hat…..Malabrigo Twist Terron Needles: 4mm and 6.5mm
The yarn is extremely soft, as you expect from Malabrigo. The hat and the yarn choice is a lovely combination. Sadly, for me, not the fault of the design or the designer, this hat is a little too small for me. You see, I have a huge noggin, my mom says I have a huge noggin, thanks mom! So this beautiful hat seems to rise up over my ears and likes to sit snuggly above them. It fits Mr Snobs perfectly, but he refuses to model or wear it, Men don’t do cables……since when??
I should block it, but I love how it looks unblocked…..decisions.
