And on the other hand, I finished something that I really like!

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nMy blue blouse is done! Not only that, but it’s been worn several times already. I.Love.It.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Sage Blouse<\/a> by yellowcosmo (free Ravelry download!)
\nYarn: Cleckheaton Country Silk, 10 Skeins in colourway 12 (Blue), won at Knit Camp!
\nNeedles: 3.25 and 3.75mm Knitpicks Options
\nMods: Just a few little ones. A few people have commented that the neckline is a bit wide, so I did the first few garter rows on a smaller needles, which did the trick nicely. Apart from that, I fiddled around with the sleeve cuff decreases a little bit, because when I followed the pattern directions as written, they didn’t gather quite as much as the picture. That was about it for mods, I think.

\n(Photos by knitabulous<\/a> again!) Overall, I’m really happy with it. Free pattern, prize yarn, great result – what’s not to like?!?
\nThe pattern is relatively easy, worked in one piece from the neck down. The pattern can get a bit tricky when you’re trying to incorporate the increases, but nothing too dramatic.
\nAnd with my absentee blogging, I’m managing to make it look like all I do is finish things. Not true, I promise. I’ve started Oblique<\/a> from Knitty<\/a>.

\nAnd already run into a hitch. I badly underestimnated the yarn I’d need. I picked up 3 x 200g balls of Rustic 12ply from Bendigo Woollen Mills<\/a> when we went to Bendigo a while back
\nYesterday I finished the first ball before I’d reached the raglan shaping on the back. I placed an emergency call to them yesterday and ordered two more balls. Hopefully they can match the dyelot!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
