Knitting, Blocking, Done
It's been a very succesful weekend for item output. Finishing and chocolate fondue are actually a perfect combination, lots of satisfaction and a little sugar high never hurt anybody. The key is 2 separate areas - 1 with food, and 1 with comfy couches.
Wool Peddler's has gotten the least attention so far but I have expanded the garter section by 20 rows and to balance it's increased depth I will need 8-10 lace pattern repeats instead of the original 6.
I finished sewing up Jojo, it's such a cute little jacket and I'm glad I spent the extra time on careful finishing. It still needs blocking and it's buttons but it's soaking now.
The big news is Double Crossing Diamonds is done, done, done! The Flame's very pleased, headless, but pleased.
Project specs: Double Crossing Diamonds by Tara Jon Manning
Original yarn : Cascade Sierra (1100g)
Flame's yarn : Almedahls Extra (950g)
Needles : 3.75 and 4.5mm addis.
Started : November 2005
Finished : January 15, 2006

wow! the Flame's sweater looks fantastic!
Wow, you saved a lot of yarn by not putting in those bobbles! The Flame looks stunning, even headless. What great fit. Congratulations!
The flame is one fortunate guy. The sweater is perfect -- comfortable and stylish.
