Knitting!

July 1, 2012

Do you beleive it? After all this time, an FO. My goal was to finish prior to my hand surgery, and I succeeded, due to the fact that my surgeon has flown the Canadian coop to better opportunities in Seattle, leaving this hurtin' chicky behind. I view it as an opportunity for a second opinion. Someday. Presenting:

Pattern: Flared Lace Smoke Ring by Jackie Erickson-Schweitzer

Yarn: Design Club Duo Silk Merino (Denmark) Laceweight

Needles: Addi turbo size 6? I'll check and update once I find the needles.

Thoughts: Lace on every row, not one stitch of plain knitting, it seemed to go on forever, but was worth the effort. Wish I had made the bottom wider to compensate for the laceweight but I'm happy with the size of the top. Beautiful lace, here's a closeup:

Amazing Lace! So sorry that after you have made the effort to be a patient, waited in the office and set up your summer for malingering, there is no doctor.
It took me 6 months to get an appointment with a hand surgeon, but I left when he kept me waiting over an hour.
There’s a Doctor Groper in Abbotsford who works on hands.

Beautiful. At first I thought the pattern would be a good opportunity to use my qiviut- until seeing it is lace on every row, with no nice purl breaks!
