i have been a busy bee, honestly. there was a jam jam, cupcakes, and a very ill kitty. i have managed to finish a couple things, and here are the half-baked photos to prove it.
anthropologie inspired caplet in plymouth baby alpaca grande:
the yarn is outrageous, and i want to swim in it. there's soft yarn, and then there's yarn you can't stop fondling. it was blocked, but doesn't seem to want to stay that way. the pattern is from peony kints (linked above). i modified the size by casting on 60sts, and dividing the raglan into sections as follows: 10/10/20/10/10. i added some length to the body and sleeves until i ran out of yarn (2 skeins). it took longer to block the peice than it did to knit. i would (as usual) highly recommend grumperina's bind-off.
and finally, finally cobblestone. i am so pleased with this sweater- i think it's the nicest thing i've knit to date. the pattern is beautifully written, and i didn't modify a thing. i even used the recommended yarn. i was hoping to get my dad to model it for you, but the best i could manage today was their carpet. maybe next time.
next up: french market bag, and beau.
