Finished Charlotte


Finally Charlotte is finished. I am not to happy about her, she is to big, I am holding her tucked at the back for the photo.
What shall I do with her?
Colinette yarn is beautyful, I used Fandango in Windfall and Taglitelle in Moss. I love the way the colours are named. Taglitelle is wonderful to knit with and it must be one of the only tape yarns in pure wool.
Fandango is 100% cotton which is the main reason for me using this yarn.
I am sure when I see all the Colinette yarn at the next Knitting and Stitching show I will be tempted again.
Sewing up all the ends on the inside was not easy, it took me longer to finish this sweater than I thought it would.
April has certainly turned into a finishing month for me.

The colours are fabulous. Sorry that it turned out too big. I often have that problem with the chunkier yarns. My tension goes a bit funny, I think because of the weight on the needles. It's a shame because the colours really flatter you.

I am sorry Charlotte has turned out too big. It is a shame as the colours really suit you. I guess the only solution is a complete frog - although that seems a bit drastic.
