I finally got around to getting photos of this today.
Project Details:
Pattern: Heaven and Space, by Martina Behm
Yarn: Bouton d’Or Songe, in PINK. 3 skeins. I bought this in a yarn shop in Nice, France when we took a cruise that left from there in 2006. Deep stash. 570 meters out.
Needles: 3.75 mm
Started: December 6, 2014
Finished: June 7, 2015
For: Me!
Modifications: None. This is one of those patterns that you can adapt for pretty much any yarn. I knit until I had just enough left over to do the bind off.
What I Learned: Note to self. Please remember to check the lot numbers on ball bands in the future. This was knit with 3 balls of yarn, after I blocked it, I noticed that the center ball of yarn is just a shade off. Not enough to notice when it’s around your neck, but still.
Here’s another photo.
That one shows the shape better. It starts from one point (the one at the top in this photo, then increases at both sides, then binds off at the long straight side. If you look carefully you can see the very slight shift in color in the center section.
Last but not least.
Lewey says “Happy Fathers’ Day!” He adores his human dad.
The shawl,is beautiful in pink, and you look lovely in that color, too.
That looks really great! How satisfying when a project turns out that well, aye?
The shawl is so very pretty, and looks gorgeous on you! Love the long hair, too!!
The color is very flattering for you. My niece is visiting from Ottawa. She is ga-ga about corgis, and takes photos of any and all she encounters. Apparently, there aren’t any where she lives.
Great modelling shot. And the dog portrait, too 😉
It turned out great and looks wonderful on you! 🙂
