Claude has been finished a few weeks now. I started wearing it instantly and then we had a lovely heatwave and I put Claude in my wardrobe.This week we are back to almost normal autumn weather.
Today I am wearing Claude and the husband is home in time to take a few photos.
Today I am wearing Claude and the husband is home in time to take a few photos.Asking to have photos taken of me in my own knitwear always seems to be a big burden.
After all the problems knitting Claude I am very pleased with the result.
I got two finished sleeves and I am happy with the length. Of course they could have been a little longer.
I am not complaining, I finished up another pack of yarn.
10 balls of Debbie Bliss Cotton Angora. I had bought the yarn a few years ago on ebay. The pattern is Claude by Anna Bell.
I did modify the pattern, I knit the body as one piece up to the armholes, I raised the back and front neck area to give myself more coverage, shorter sleeves with only a narrow cuff.
Since i finished Claude, I have been busing with more stash yarn knitting.
Look at us ladies wearing new hand knits.
This brings the total of my 12in2011 projects to 8.
Still a bit behind. But I did knit some other projects.
At the moment I got another dog coat for Nowzad on the go.
I will be meeting the author and a lot of dogs rescued from Afghanistan end of next week.
