Wow, I haven’t had one of these (FO) in a while, but here she is – Guinevere!
Pattern: Secret of the Stole – Guinevere by DK the Nautical Knitter
Yarn: Knit Picks Shadow in Sunset – only 2 skeins
Needles: Knit Picks Options – size 4
Modifications: None really to speak of, unless you count the mistakes! LOL I did add a few more beads in places, but nothing major.
I do apologize if the photos are a bit dark, but I was taking them last night around 1:00am! I finished around 9:00pm, she had a good wash and block. Now I just need to weave in a couple of ends and I can wear it Friday night! As with most lace knits, it’s light and airy – yet warm too. I realized just how badly I need to get some blocking wires or have my Dad make a blocking frame for me (hint – this would be a nice Christmas present Dad). I dried the dental floss on one side and it did do better than the pinned-only side, so I can definitely see how much wires would help.
There are more photos on my Flickr account, but I will leave you with another photo of the last clues.
Now on to more Christmas knitting….
Wow, wow, wow! I really like the colors. What a lot of beautiful work!
