<\/a><\/center>\nIsn’t it beautiful? (And pink – who’d have guessed?!?)
\nIt’s going to be Eunny’s Venezia<\/a>. I’ve been playing with colours, and it’s taken me weeks to finally decide on exactly which colours to use, but there’s one more to come, which is why I was waiting for the post. Infortunately, it still has not arrived. The main colour I’m going to use for the trim is discontinued and I had to order it from somewhere else. It’s a dark pink, and hopefully will work with the colours I’ve selected!
\nI’m not going to cast on immediately, because I’ve been promising Emily a cabled hoodie for about two years, and she’s starting to get whiny about it. It’s not like I haven’t knit her anything in a while!
\nShe’s got a new hat, after all.

<\/a><\/center>\nEm’s happy with it, and I like it now that it’s finished, but if I were to knit it again, I think I’d go for more contrast between the two colours. The pink in the “Grace” was a little too close to the “Peony”. But it’s a great pattern, and went reasonably quickly, especially once I was computerless. (Still computerless, btw. Two weeks now, and counting!)
\nSo Emily’s been doing quite well in the knitwear department lately. Someone else might feel left out, though.
