Here’s hoping that Branden’s magic solution works…
I tried to test it on Friday before he left for the US, but the pictures that I needed were on the camera card. Which was in his computer. Which was at work. And then the weekend was busy.
So I’m trying it now.
The first image uploaded, which is a good sign.
We decided at the last minute to send my camera with Branden, since he’s not taking the fancy one. So we threw it in his suitcase late last night. Without taking the pictures off of it.
I’ll retake them later, but for now, here’s what I have:
The finished alpaca shawl.
I knit until I ran out, and ended up getting one more repeat than I’d hoped for. This is what I had left over:
It blocked to about 72 inches long, and 16 wide. All of the green from the needles washed out nicely. And it’s very soft.
The shawl is just FABULOUS! It looks so warm and wearable and soft. Simply lovely!
Ooh! Ooh! I LOVE it! The handspun is stunning, and the pattern worked out beautifully. Now I want one for my ownself 🙂 (BTW, I'm glad to see that the magic worked – what a relief!)
Ohh, from what I can see, it looks very lovely and comfy. I can't wait to see more pics!
Pretty, pretty! And a nice size, too. I'm glad the green washed out for you.
(And can I take it to assume that the 'magic' solution worked, as you have not 1, but 3 pictures in the post?)
I just simply want to wrap up in it. It is beautiful and the softness of the blocked yarn lets the pattern flow so nicely together. Does it exceed your expectations? I hope so!
DH is also happy to see that the new method appears to work. Still not as automagic as I hoped, but once you figure out what settings you like, I'll script it.
