So, quite some time ago (about a month!) I finished Tempest. Then it sat for a while, and on KIP day, Ailsa took some pictures of it for me.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nDone! I’m really happy with it, too.
\nSpecs:
\nPattern:Tempest<\/a> by Ann Weaver from Knitty, Spring 2008<\/a>
\nYarn: Wollmeise<\/a> 100% Merino Superwash in Fuchsia and Posion Nr 5, one skein of each
\nNeedles: 3.75mm and 4.0mm Knitpro Symfonie\/Knit Picks Harmony Circulars
\nSize: 35″ (C)
\nMods: I made the sleeves long, instead of 3\/4. I have a bit of an issue with 3\/4 sleeves, if I’m cold enough for a cardigan, usually I want my whole arm covered! I spaced out the increases a little more so that the wrists weren’t too big.
\nI picked up the buttons at All Buttons Great and Small<\/a> in Newtown, and I really like them. It took a while to decide, I found some gorgeous little roses I liked, but they were $5 each, and I needed 14. I’m plenty happy with these ones!

\nI really like the Wollmeise yarn. I know it’s hard to get, but it’s worth it. The colours are gorgeous, and the yarn is unusual – it sort of feels cottony, but still soft. And the 150g skeins are awesome – I only used one skein of each colour, and I had leftovers!
\nOverall, I’m happy with it, and may even do another one in the future.

\nIn fact, the only issue I have with the whole project is that I just can’t get the colours to show up correctly!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
