Evening Star

Well, I've finally managed to finish my Evening Star bolero/cardigan (call it what you will). I think I like it, but to say its supposed to be a size 10-12 it's quite roomy. I'm not too sure about one of the shoulders - it's all knit in one piece, so you start at one wrist and work up the arm, along the back and across the front, putting waste yarn in to fit the second sleeve later, and it's this sleeve that doesn't seem quite right. However, it does look a tad Per Una-esque, which can't always be such a bad thing, and given that the pattern wasn't already listed on ravelry, there can't be that many people wearing one!




I used Sirdar Medici in a beige/blue colourway, which I have to say is rather nice. It took about 4.5 balls to complete.



My next challenge is to finish something else that's already on needles rather than succumbing to the lure of the lovely new yarn and casting on something completely new. I'm trying to be diligent and work on the Francie socks (Rebekkah Kerner) but the lovely fluffy stuff from the Natural Dye studio keeps calling to me. I've already managed to start a new (extremely long term) project by knitting one tiny fish that will eventually become a blanket of tessellated fish made from my sock yarn leftovers. I tell myself that this doesn't count as a new project as it's really using up the leftovers from other projects.



I think I need help.............
