14 April 2008Words have been a bit thin on the ground for me lately. Let’s start with a few.
Birthday outfit!
Juliet.
Heavily modified. Obviously, I went for a pullover instead of a cardigan. I went with the XS cast on, increased enough to accomodate my bust, and then after I joined the body, decreased rapidly. At the stockinette portion, you’re directed to increase to 160 stitches… I only increased to 125. There is otherwise no shaping included in my version… but I think it fits me very well. More vest-like, exactly what I wanted. The yarn is handpaintedyarn.com handspun handdyed bulky yarn in polar grey. I love the undertones of green and blue throughout the yarn, and the thick and thin nature of the yarn makes it that much more interesting, I think.
All in all, something that I think is successful.
It turned out so well! And look how thrilled you are!
Great sweater
Very pretty and a perfect gift to yourself.
I like your modifications, it looks like the perfect fit!
Very pretty!
It’s gorgeous! Love your mods and love the color!
It turned out great! And I’m all excited because I know exactly where you’re standing — I miss C-U!!
It’s adorable. You are truly a cutie!
Gorgeous! I want one too!
oooh nice outfit – I might have to try one of those- adds it to the Ravelry queue (who am I kidding – when will I find the time )
Oh, it looks great! And happy belated birthday too!
Very nice! (Words thin over here lately, too.)
Looks great! I never would have picked a red t-shirt to wear with it, but I love the combo.
It is wonderful! Very inspired (and inspiring!)
Congrats, it’s very cute, looks good! : )
