Here's the black version of the yarn because I cast on with the cream ones before I got a photo.
And here's the finished object!
It wraps twice around my neck, plus some. I'm still trying to get a handle on the styling. It is soooo soft though and so warm, even though it's all holey! I would have taken a picture of me wearing it, but I was in my pj's pretty much all day. ;)
In other yarn related news, I did manage to pick what to buy and I'll show everyone when the yarns get here. After picking up the mail, I remembered that I had bought a skein of sock yarn from a destash on Ravelry! It was only a couple of bucks for this skein of Sock It To Me. Should be fun! I'm disappointed in the yardage, which I didn't pay attention to before. Grrr. Hopefully it's enough for two ankle socks.
Thanks for all your help and advice yesterday! I can't wait for my package of new yarns to get here!! :D
It looks great - I hope it will be lovely and soft to wear. Things with lots of holes do a lovely job of trapping warm air around your neck.
ReplyDeleteI love Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk! Nice FO. Good job!
ReplyDeleteHi Sarah - thanks for your comment on my trouser/skirt... Make it - it's dead easy!
ReplyDeleteBTW - when I look at your blog, I think you must already be a postgraduate knitter, not a student knitter anymore ;-) Well done and keep up the good work!
Oh that neck warmer is lovely! It would look really nice we a dark colored pea coat I think. I also love the colors of that sock yarn. Can't wait to see what you make with that.
ReplyDeleteDebbie Bliss Alpaca Silk is one of my favourite yarns - I love it! I have a cowl made from it and it's so snuggly and lovely :)
