The project came together quickly and was a very satisfying knit. I finished most of this on the train ride to and from Toronto a few weeks ago. The yarn is great to work with and I'll definitely be using it on other projects once I knit down some of my stash.
Here are the pattern details:
Pattern: Diorama from Berroco's Arts & Crafts booklet
Yarn: Berroco Vintage, 3 skeins of Dewberry
Needles: Us 8
Ravelry Link: craftr's Diorama
I love this! its so figure flattering. I want to make one now. But it looks like its mostly purling, which I do not enjoy. hmmmm.
ReplyDeleteIt's so pretty - love the color too!
ReplyDeleteso pretty, wish i could knit...i crochet, but not so great at that even...
ReplyDeleteThat's a brilliant colour! How do you manage to look so happy in your pics? Does Jon take them? I usually take my own and forget to smile cause I'm concentrating so hard - big old frown is what I get for my efforts ;)
ReplyDeleteCheers,
