FO: Lacy Hug-Me-Tight

Here it is, finally finished.


Pattern: Lacy Hug-Me-Tight by Mel Clark
Source: Knit 2 Together by Tracey Ullman and Mel Clark
Materials: five skeins of Blue Sky Alpacas Alpaca & Silk in Colour I33 (Blush)
Needles: US 5 (3.75 mm) and US 8 (5 mm) bamboo circs.
Started: March 27, 2007
Finished knitting: April 29, 2007


Notes: I'm very happy with this garment. It could use some light blocking, but I was so excited about finishing it that I haven't bathed it yet (plus, the drying rack is currently occupied). It looks lovely with this maroon dress and it'll also look nice with a couple other dresses I own.

Watch out! This is my over-the-shoulder-red-carpet pose.


The only qualm I had with this pattern is the funky diagram. I'm thankful the written directions were much better than this retarded diagram. Steph suggested a non-knitter might have drawn it -- I tend to agree.


How is that eye shaped thing supposed to translate into this?

  1. That is so gorgeous. And I agree, a ridiculous diagram. Space filler?

  2. Wow - I so did not see that as the end result of that pattern diagram. Now that I see it on you it makes way more sense than what I envisioned.

    Good for you, b.t.w. not procrastinating on the seaming!

    It's simply beautiful! And it fits you perfectly!
