Here’s the progress on G’s vest:
(I swear, this blogging thing is a humbling experience. I take the *worst* product shots! Now stick some people in the pictures and I’m a-okay.)
I’ve got about 12 inches done – the pattern says to start shaping at 16.5, but I think I’m going to go another inch. He wants it a little longer.
And here’s my first felting project:
Done in Cascade 220 – I can’t remember the colors and can only find one wrapper – for the brown (#9408). It’s my interpretation of the booga bag. I basically doubled the bottom number of rows and knitted it using two strands for a strength. Then I knit up at least double the rows, probably more. I’m really happy with how it came out. I used US 10.5 Addis.
Thanks must go to Jen for showing me her lovely booga. I think this is a really great project for a beginning knitter. The hardest part is picking up the stitches, which is really pretty easy and then it’s just knit, knit, knit. And the finished product is so nice. Something other than the usual scarf.
