No songs today, but actual real life FOs, two of them: go me.
First is Tracy's Shawl that we last saw being soaked and blocked; it was sent as a gift over a week ago, but I haven't heard anything from the recipient. Here it is modelled by Mini Diva:
A lovely pattern in a lovely yarn: Artesano 100% alpaca 4ply in 'Anemone'.
And again, here is Mini Diva in her new vintage sweater, made from only 4 balls of Robin Picasso Chunky in the blue colorway; having succeeded with this, I am very likely to make a purple one for her cousin D. Mini Diva had requested the blue; apparently purple and pink are so yesterday ....
Engorged with my successes, I am off over to Tami's Amis to peruse those of others ....
Gorgeous FOs :) love the vintage sweater (and the colours are very cute, and all growed up!)
ReplyDeleteBoth projects look great, love the blues (always been more of a blue fan than a pink fan myself)
ReplyDeleteOooh lovely! The sweater reminds me of all the things my Mum and Nan used to make for me when I was little - I guess that makes ME vintage too!!! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely weekend

I love the vintage sweater, it's stunning. I am sure she will get back into pink and purple soon.
ReplyDeleteLOL my niece just informed me that "purple and pink ARE so yesterday" Her new favourite colour is navy blue. It's a lovely sweater; I'd like one too!
ReplyDeleteYour Fo's are great! Well done, two, I'm very jealous!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness! That shawl is amazing!
ReplyDeleteI love that sweater! Any chance you can link to the pattern?
ReplyDeleteAwesome x 2, both projects are fabulous. Congrats!
ReplyDeleteExcellent! Both are lovely.
ReplyDeleteBoth sweater and shawl are lovely!!! I don't know if I could pick a favorite! :)
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely FOs and what a fantastic model ;-)
ReplyDeleteLove the shawl especially , beautiful colour ! Nicely done...
ReplyDeleteAwesome FOs!!! Love that sweater.
ReplyDeleteVery lovely! I'm sure you'll hear from the shawl recipient very soon.
ReplyDeleteLovely, both of them and such pretty colors.
ReplyDeleteI do like the blue sweater. But, well, I'm just a dummy I guess. Why can't you use "yesterday's" colors on a "vintage" sweater? Are they too old cuz they're yesterday, or too new cuz yesterday isn't vintage yet? Is this a girl thing? Help!
wow these are both beautiful! I especially love the sweater, it's very unique! great job =)
ReplyDeleteLoving them both! You did a great job, hope you hear back from the recipient of the shawl soon, it is especially gorgeous.
ReplyDeletejust gorgeous! The sweater is a perfect over-turtle neck sweater!
ReplyDeleteBoth are gorgeous but I especially love the sweater!! Nice job!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finished items. The recipient of the shawl is very lucky
ReplyDeleteMini Diva has clearly got modelling down pat ;) Good job showing off your Mum's great FOs MD.
ReplyDeleteThe wool you used for your jumper is the wool I used for the center of my chunky blanket, its a blue/green/grey combination :)
ReplyDeleteThat jumper looks very comfy and cosy!
