completed camellia
Monday, January 08, 2007This truly was a quick knit!
The Camellia took about 3 days to knit, I figured 7-8 hours, plus blocking and sewing it together. I was so afraid that it was going to be too short and too tight, that I added some rows to the body. I didn't need to, it blocks unbelievably well! If I make another one I would modify one thing. Instead of making two pieces for the body, I would make one. That way, no seam and less sewing.
I am so happy with how this turned out, and can't wait to hand deliver it to the birthday girl in Vail.
Hopefully she will love it as much as I do.
Here's the Skinny:
Camellia Sweater
5 skeins Classic Elite, Duchess, for size 38
Size 11 needles.
Now I have to think of some creative way to package it!?

Doncha love quick projects - especially for a gift? Hopefully she'll like it - it's fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great gift! I can't imagine why she wouldn't love it.
ReplyDeleteYour car sticker is awesome! I like how only "insiders" will understand what it means.
Great color. Packaging......hmmmmm...In a box wrapped in plain paper with raffia (sp) or a simple ribbon. The ribbon should be tied around a bar of lavender soap and a hand made wash mit.
