That’s how I feel about modeling shots – grin and bear wear it. Inevitably when a knitting blogger features an FO there’s a cry from the comment section – how about a modeling shot? First up:
Pattern: The Seville Jacket from Oat Couture Size:small (beware the sizing, I usually make a large, but had the opportunity to try on a sample at a yarn shop and chose otherwise).
Yarn: Tahki New Tweed (colour #1 ecru) – 10 skeins. Didn’t have enough yarn for seaming and used silk thread, causing weaving in issues.
Modifications: Increased the length by about two inches. Thoughts: Yarn is too drapey for a sweater. I’d make it again with a sturdier fiber.
Next, I humbly present the first Landscape scarf. Sorry to disappoint those of you who thought it was a shawl. You must think I’m a knittin’ machine to be able to turn out two of these in short succession, but I’m willing to fess up. The pattern comes with the scarf and shawl versions. I usually wear this one tucked into a collared shirt, but for the sake of the m-shot I’ve worn it outside with one of the ties exposed.
Dios Mio, what a mugshot!
Pattern: Landscape Shawl and Scarf by Fibertrends
Yarn: Koigu, two skeins. I love, love, love the way each little picot comes out in a different colour.
Thoughts: I made my second one larger by adding an additional stitch pattern. Don’t bother, it’s too big to wear tucked and too small to wear on the outside.
It’s obvious from the sweater m-shot that I haven’t done a post-seaming blocking. You know what else I haven’t done?
