..what what the ruching.

Oh my goodness! I am so proud of myself. The first pattern that I’ve made up all on my own! I’m working on writing it up formally right now and will have it published on Ravelry by Oct. 1!

First prototype was 13 stitches wide, knit on size 8 needles and was too large and loose. Used 27 grams of worsted weight yarn, or 24 yards.

Final design used 24 grams, or 21 yards, of worsted weight yarn. second one knit in final design was 29 grams and used 26 yards of yarn.

The sachet version was a conversion of the first prototype (I knit a second prototype) and used 56 grams and 50 yards total of worsted weight yarn.

Second mask gifted to breezyd as part of the C2S2’s Autumn Harvest Swap in October 2009.

Sachet version RAK’d to RachelAnderson by lurk42 in an October 2009 Karma Swap.
