So I’ve been in a little knitting slump of late and don’t have an awful lot to show.
\nFortunately though, I went down and helped Ailsa<\/a> out with her yarn store stuff today, and she took some pictures of my finished projects for me!
\nFinally, I get to show off Rosa.

\nIsn’t she just beautiful? I’m so pleased with it, I think it may be my favourite finished project yet!
\nSpecs:
\nPattern: Rosa<\/a> by Kim Hargreaves<\/a>, from the Thrown Together<\/a> book.
\nSize: Small
\nYarn: Rowan 4ply Soft in Tea Rose. I used just a smidgen more than 5 balls.
\nRowan Kidsilk Haze in Pearl, 1 ball.
\nNeedles: 2.5mm and 3mm.
\nMods: None.
\nI knit it exactly the way the pattern said, and I’m over the moon with it. It was super quick for me, too. I started it just before we left to go on holidays in December. We were away for a little under two weeks, but all the car time gave me the opportunity to do the front, the back and the sleeves. After I got home I only had to do the neckband, seaming and ruffles. I think those bits took as long as the rest of it did.

\nBut I’m so happy with it that I can’t even put it into words. If I was to change anything at all, it might be the ruffles. The pattern calls for them to be knit separately and then sewn into place – I’d probably pick up stitches and knit them outwards. Seeing as I have a few more of her ruffled designs in my queue, I might try that next time.
