Keep Your Ends In

Interrupting your regularly sporadic posting schedule to bring you AFO – A Finished Object.

A few fit issues that will have to be addressed if I ever make this again. Nothing dramatic, of course, just things I get particular about. Namely, I think the v-neck is too long. I’d rather raise it by two inches. I also think the whole top is too long, but not the armscyes. To shorten the top and maintain the armscyes, I’ll have to drop the armscyes by… oh, about a diamond repeat, and continue the knitting otherwise as planned, except eliminating some knitting at the top. Clear as mud? Yeah, figured. I just hope that when I do make another one, I’ll realize what I’m talking about! I’m thinking more alpaca — perhaps Alpaca With A Twist Baby Twist? If I shorten it I -might- get all my “dark” color out of one skein… I’d definitely play with some color too.

Many thanks to Tracey (Ravelry link) for dying up the brown of the Alpaca D’Auxvasse for me. It’s more gorgeous knitted up than when it was in hanks!

See you on Monday for more knitting updates! (Seriously, I keep myself busy!)
