You know how some projects, through no fault of their own, just don’t want to come together? This was one of them. I spun some yarn months ago, started knitting and it was the most hideous creation I have ever seen! The yarn was a multicoloured pink mix which combined with the feather and fan pattern was just way, way too busy. For a while it stayed on my Ravelry pages headed ‘Barbie and My Little Pony in the blender’…
This version is much calmer. I managed to use up almost all the yarn I had spun (about 400g of arun/bulky weight) – literally just a couple of yards spare. I knit the yoke and a fair bit of the body then started wondering when to stop. I went back and knitted the arms, then kept going on the body until the yarn ran out.
I’d like to knit another one of these – maybe a calm mix of colours, and a slightly lighter-weight yarn (this version is certainly warm and weighty)!
