Notes

Finished pictures still to come two_hearts

Thank you for having me Teti, another really fun construction & as always your gorgeous motifstwo_hearts
I am super pleased with my samples outcome!
I plan to wear my Candelaria blouse for a special evening event next week.
I am thinking a plain black shoestring camisole underneath and smart high waisted wide leg trouser or a silk patterned skirt …sparkles
( maybe I will even remember to take a picture!sweat_smile)

Total Yardage
Sweater total weight = 203g
Tvinni Lace 25g held single for project
Various mohair colours 178g total held double throughout.

My gauge is a lot looser than the pattern intended and I love it , that together with a bit of extra length has created a garment I can throw over my favourite flowing dress for an elegant look on cool evening ok_handtwo_heartstwo_hearts

Modifications

Short sleeve, the inside measurement from under arm to end of the ribbing is 9cm.
Extra length on the body. My ‘I’ measurement is 17cm, so an extra 4cm in length on a size 3

25g Tvinni on collar & colorwork

5 September 2024
I am knitting in mohair held double for main colour and my colour work is in the Tvinni.
I had almost finished the yoke and I realised I had made a mistake with the decreases and my gauge was slightly off , so I decided to restart.
Back on track now , finished the yoke today, so just body and sleeves to go.
