The Vital Statistics:
Cast On: June 11, 2012
Finished: July 20, 2012
Pattern: Foxhollow, by Amy Swenson
Yarn: The Knittery 10ply Aran: Posmerino, hand dyed by me, colour “Blackberry Jam”.
Needles: 7mm Knitpicks Options circular
Modifications: Added about 20cm to the length, because I wanted to.
It’s my new favourite thing ever! So soft and warm and cuddly that it’s like wearing your dressing gown out in public. I finished it at Bendigo, so it took just about six weeks to knit, start to finish.
It’s still gorgeous 🙂
Beautiful!! You know how I lust after those colours… ;P
Oh it is beautiful and looks lovely and cuddly and swooshy too. Well done to knit it so fast and I am looking at it with longing, I loved Daphne’s wool and her dyeing. I still have some sock wool!!
What a great color! And you look fabulous, you quick knitter, you!!
I really can’t take credit for the speed – it’s one of those magic patterns that practically knits itself – take 10ply (Aran-weight) wool and 7mm needles (no U.S. equivalent; a shade bigger than 10 1/2, not quite as big as 11), stir for an hour or so every night, and abracadabra, you have an awesome cardi!
It looks so great! Fab colour.
Love the colour – well done you!
