pink memories
Tuesday, February 07, 2017
Finally, I finished Pink Memories. I had an issue with the yarn and while waiting for a replacement, lost my steam. Was glad to pick it up again and finish the sleeves.
This sweater is sold as either the individual pattern or as a kit. I ended up buying the kit, but had a few different dye lots of yarn. (You can buy it with two different shades of pink.) She was wonderful to work with and ended up sending more yarn suggesting I alternate yarns to make the yarns blend a little better. Can you see it?!
Patten: Pink Memories
Yarn: Came as a kit.
Needles: US 4 and US 5
Mods: Didn't really make any. Not sure why, but my neck is a bit "tighter" than I would like. I may end up re-doing the neck. Just not right now. 😁
We are headed to the Grand Canyon. I am so excited!

Such a cute headless mannequin you are! I love the look of the sweater on you and the subtle change in pink. I bet you get a lot of wear out of this.

ReplyDeleteCongrats on finishing your Pink Memories sweater. I think the different dye lots give it an interesting tonal quality and not a distraction at all. I hope you have a wonderful time in the Grand Canyon!
ReplyDeleteThat looks really cute on you and so sweet and cozy! I agree about the arm seam, I think I would probably just skip it.
ReplyDeleteIt's very interesting how basic knitting gives a bit of visual interest to this design. I love this soft pink.
