Or,
Finished Project
I really didn’t intend to disappear for a month. Like everyone else on the planet, it has been a crazy town couple of months. Work is nuts, but at least I have work. I’ve had zero social life, but at least I have a great place to live, and lots of online friends to commiserate with. And I don’t live alone, I have a terrific husband who has helped to keep me from losing my mind.
Here’s the thing that was finished:
Project Details:
- Yarn: Acme Fibres Merino Superwash fingering
- Pattern: Amalthea, from Anne Hanson
- Needles: 3.25 mm
- Started: July 15, 2020
- Finished: November 21,2020
- For: Baby Zane, my newest grandnephew
- Modifications: None, other than the occasional screwup.
- Project Rating: ***** for both pattern and yarn. Acme primarily sells undyed yarn, but the cream works beautifully for baby things.
One last photo, since I don’t finish something (or post) every day.
The pattern is easy to follow, no glitches that I ran across. While this isn’t a beginner project, if you have some experience with lace, it is a pretty easy pattern. The whole center is just garter stitch, and the lace edging is a simple repetitive lace pattern. The only part that challenged my brain a bit was the short row corners on the edging.
Beautiful. I’m glad you are coping with current craziness.
Also, I really like the picture (photograph?) behind you in the second picture. Can you tell us about it?
THIS BEAUTIFUL PIECE IS DEFINITELY A KEEPSAKE ORIGINAL & REQUIRES AN ACOMPANYED WORK OF EXPLANATION & CREDIT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS !! THERE IS MAXIMUM L..O..V..E.. WRAPPED IN THIS BEAUTY !!!
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE COMPLETION, LORETTE !!! A BLESSED GIFT !!!
Beautiful!
Wow! Cuzzie you do lovely work. So wonderful to get that done so quickly for Zane! I am thinking Zany might be a cool and accurate nickname for Meske kid!
That is beautiful!
What a wonderful heirloom you’ve made. I crocheted a small baby car seat blanket. Crocheted because it was much faster to finish.
Beautiful blanket! And a very cute model, too.
WOW!!! That’s absolutely gorgeous. What a lucky baby to receive such a wonderful gift.
The blanket is beautiful! On rats on the new little one.
Ummm. Sorry that autoINcorrect edited “Congrats” to “On rats.” 🙄
