Almost done the body!

One of the cats seems to think I'm making her a cat bed-- she's going to be mad when she sees me wearing it!





















I'm working on the neckline decrease. No major problems yet!

I am trying to figure out which yarn to use.

I have some Paton's Shetland Chunky. some white, that woudl work. Just a question has anyone dyed this stuff before?

Cora

eekkk,

I started mine two days ago and went to check the gauge last night because ....well it seemed large. The bottom measures 47 inches, I'm making the smallest size. Needles to say 47 inches is way to big for my 34 inch hips so I'm starting over on smaller needles. I will admit I was having trouble measureing my swatch so It's my own fault. Hopefully this time around will go better.

Day 1

I started Cherie Amour the other day and got a little more than halfway to the waist. It knits up so quickly! I meant to do more last night but other commitments got in the way.

I really like the lace pattern and the way it looks so far.

The Yarn

Here's my yarn! The color is Mediterranea, which appears to be currently out of stock on the handpaintedyarn website-- I guess I snatched up the last 4 skeins.

I haven't started knitting yet but I'm planning to tonight.

Yarn for Cherie Amour

I received my yarn last week. I ordered from handpainted yarn, in the brandy colorway. It's not quite what I expected--a little bit darker, and more brown than pink, but I'm still happy with it.

It's posed with rum, because it happened to arrive on Talk Like a Pirate Day, and what's treasure without rum?

Welcome!
