Oh-so-Fetching

Well, last night I finished Fetching and I am very happy with the results.

Specifics:
Cast-on: December 12, 2006/ Finished: January 24, 2007
(Basically I made one and then made the other a month later- so about two full days)
Pattern: Fetching from Knitty Summer 2006
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran- Black
I used one ball and began the second ball with about three rows left. I’m not really sure what I’ll do with the remaining ball of Cashmerino Aran, but I will find something to do with it.
Needles: Clover Takumi DPNs 4.25 mm (US 6)
Modifications: Knit 8 rows after final cable twist, instead of 4. Then I used the traditional cast-off instead of the picot bind-off: it was too floppy for me.
Thoughts: I really enjoyed this pattern and I will definitely knit them as gifts in the future. They are quick, easy, and oh-so-fetching!! The Cashmerino Aran is so soft and feels great against my hands.

Realization Dawns

So, I moved over to the new Blogger today and I’m starting to get used to it. But I found something shocking!! People had left comments on my blog, lots of people and I hadn’t realized!! So I have changed my setting and comments will hopefully come through to me and I will be able to respond to all of you great and supportive knitters.

I really do apologize if I overlooked a comment of yours, but I’m very happy to know I will never miss one again!

Keep reading! You guys are so great!

Satisfaction

I finished my Fetching gloves today!! I am also getting ready to finish my cabled dishcloth, and I am very excited about making a felted bowl from One Skein out of Plymouth Galway. This is just a brief update, but I’m hoping to have a more comprehensive post this weekend!!
Signing off with warm and fetching hands!! FO post to come..
