FO’s!
So I finished Ovaltine on Thursday night (I think I mentioned that).
Pattern: Ovaltine from Big Just Got Bigger (Rowan)
Yarn: Rowan Biggy Print (Thunder) and Rowan Big Wool (Smoky)
Needles: US 19 (body/arms), US 15 (all bands and cuffs), US 13 (collar)
Notes: This wasn’t a bad knit, it went pretty fast because of the yarn’s bulk. I had some mishaps (the felting, the tight collar) and it’s definitely not perfect, but for the 3rd ever sweater and my first using such bulky yarn I think it turned out pretty good.
My next finished item as the Amelia Earhart hat for my step mom. Warning, my pics of this kind of suck.
Pattern: Amelia Earhart Aviator Cap by Flor from Head Huggers
Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted (Cuarzo)
Needles: US 7
Notes: Easy knit, would totally recommend it. I’m thinking of doing one for myself. I might go down another needle size though if I do. The finished product seemed a little loose to me, but my step mom says it’ll be great for her since her scalp gets sensitive during chemo.
So 2 down, 2 to go for my march to the finish.
