Charlotte is the first project finished! Here’s how she looked pre blocking.
And blocked and fringed.
The first time I knit Charlotte, I added a knitted lace border rather than the fringing, but I think I like the fringing. Mind you, it took ages to cut it all up and add it.
The pattern says to cast off at the end of the knitting, then to do a row of single crochet, and then add the crochet loops for the fringe. I decided to do it a little differently. I can’t crochet to save my life, and American crochet terminology is different to Australian crochet terminology. Apart from that, I wouldn’t know a single crochet if it came and bit me on the butt.
So I just did a crochet loop bind off, which I also think gave it a little more stretchiness than a knit cast off edge would. I’m not a fan of cast off edges on lace.
Done, in 8 days. Quite a contrast to the Shetland Shawl!
Buttercup is continuing. At the moment I’m still working on this.
The never ending tie. It needs to be 140cm long, and it doesn’t seem to matter how much knitting I do, it’s just not getting there! Other than that, Buttercup is nearly done. It’s blocked and seamed, all it needs is this tie, and crochet loops on the sleeves for the buttonholes.
In Twinkie news, yes, she is still slim and sleek, although you wouldn’t know it from this angle.
She’s keeping in shape by dancing.
Whenever Emily practices her dancing, Twinkie likes to come in and show her how it’s done.
Next year, it’s So You Think You Can Dance, rabbit style.
Wasn’t sure I would like Charlotte but now that she’s blocked Wow! But I should have know better.
Dance Twinkie Dance!
When Mocha was alive he used to watch PBR Bull riding on TV with us and run around mimicking the bucking bulls it was always hard to watch the tv because you where cracking up over the rabbit.
keeping up with you knitting this I never knew what the finished product would look like. It is so beautiful.
I can’t believe you are finished with Charlotte already! It’s beautiful! I love mine and wear it all the time at home. You are a fast, fast knitter!
Dance Baby Dance!
