Creative Friday, Auri's Vest Finished!


It's Done!!

I had Auri's Sweater almost finished last Saturday and I had expected for knit up the last two inches at the Alley Cat. But I wound up getting to talk to so many wonderful folks and such that I never actually managed to knit. Then I left my basket there, expecting to pick it up the next day.....which became a week.:o)

Last night I pulled it out and finished it up. She hasn't seen it yet, I can't wait until she does! 
I think she's going to love it.

Woolie Love to you All!!

(Even though it was 85 degrees today)

Thank you.:o) It's Georgie Hallam's Eden's Adam pattern. The main difference between this one and the Milo is that the shoulder straps are thinner and there is a graduation under the arms. I feel like it fits my narrow shouldered children better. With the milo the shoulder straps were always falling off. (Not that it isn't a great pattern, it just didn't fit MY children very well.)

Thanks! I wish I hadn't already bought the milo..or maybe I can modify it..my kids have narrow shoulders as well.

I hand dyed a fisherman's wool. I've found it to be a super cheap wool to play with and it knits up nicely. I usually only use it for myself though, or dyeing classes.

Elisa, I tried to modify the Rainbow Dress pattern and it didn't work out very well...lol. I bought that one back when it was the only one she had, I think. But I also didn't understand patterns very well when I tried it. Now I have a better grasp of them...maybe.:o)
