The pattern is Ribbed Lace Bolero by Kelly Maher. I used LB Cotton Ease and knit this on 5mm and 6.5mm needles. It's chock full of mistakes but nothing that is overly noticeable. There was this one rogue purl stitch that should have been a knit in the ribbing. It cruelly taunted me from across the table while we were eating lunch but I forced myself to ignore it. At some point in my freshman year of college I went from a meh knitter to a BAM knitter. I don't know how that happened except maybe because I started knitting a lot more once separated from my sewing machine.
It's nice to see my knits in action. It gives me that happy shiny feeling.
P.S. I just saw Inception. It is awesome.

I think it's awesome to see your knits in action. I would love to see someone wearing something I gave them. That would probably make my day (or month)!
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. Sorry lunch was ruined by that rogue stitch, though.
ReplyDeletethat shrug looks so awesome!! I love the colour too.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see your knits being used without planning for it! It makes you realize the person actually loves what you made for them, there is no better compliment. Glad you had your camera at hand to take photos immediately! : )
ReplyDeleteAmazing shrug! I have been wanting to see Inception, glad to hear it is worth seeing!

Nice shrug. It makes me all squishy inside when I see people wearing things I've knit for them.
ReplyDeleteIt's lovely! And how satisfying to hear that something you gifted has proved to be worn so often.
