FO! Oil Slick Wrap

click to flickrLast Knit Nite was a blast as usual, and with two FO's: Kelley's baby washcloth, and the wrap cardigan I've been working on for 3 months. Both were knitted from the results of our last Dye Party.

I'm veeeery pleased with this project. It's my favorite one, so I'm already planning another! I followed the general instructions for simultaneous set-in sleeves from Walker's Knitting from the Top. I can't say enough about this book. Then I tailored the fit exactly to my measurments, and all went smoothly - not one single frog! And this baby is totally seamless - the only thing I used a darning needle for was weaving in the ends.


Mei! Kelley! Autumn!

Mei, Sylvia, HelenD'wan & Cherilyn somehow missed the lens. We all had a great time enjoying all sort of things with the conversation: knitting, algebra homework, wireless internet, needlepoint, beer, coffee, chocolate, food, and that mushroom knitting spool thingy!

  6. I love the Oil Slick wrap - it is so beautiful. I am a HUGE fan of wrap sweaters - they flatter most body types.
