It’s always nice when something turns out better than expected. My monster isn’t, it’s actually quite endearing.
You’ll notice the assymetric sleeve stripes. That’s because I miscalculated the stripe pattern for the yarn I had, or vice versa. Just makes it a bit special, no?
This is all that was left of the Bilberry shade:
I had a good 75g of the Fuchsia which wasn’t really the point of the exercise, but never mind. I’m wearing the sweater right now, and I think it’s going to be a favourite.
I’m working on a my second Hedera sock at the moment, which is my only WIP. I’m in one of those phases when I can’t make up my mind what to do next. I’ve some rather nice BFL laceweight so I expect another two shawls will eventually materialise. I swatched a little of Plume as part of my annual crochet project, but put it aside. Then I started Ysolda’s Pear Drop and was going great guns until I noticed a dropped stitch. Feeling totally ashamed I ripped back to the miscreant, and then kept on going. Perhaps I’ll have another go.
I’m definitely in the mood for a half-circle shawl, I’m just not sure which one. Perhaps I’ll make something up along the lines of EZ’s famous Pi shawl, like so many others have done. Perhaps not. Any suggestions?
Wow, I really like the way it looks. I love the colors too

Thanks! I think the Fuchsia is a bit bright but it’s all in the cause of thrift …
I think the different sleeve makes it look special. Nice touch! Love your shawls too.
Thanks. Invention due to necessity!
I have to say that while the colors are not my taste, the sweater itself came out very nice. I do like the sleeve with the wider stripes on one side. It gives it a cool, quirkiness that I really like. Good job!
Thanks! I’m not too sure about the colour mix either, but maybe I’ll use it as a design for a better combination in the future.
Cute! The different stripe pattern on the left sleeve makes it funky
On the topic of half-circle shawls, I see there’s a new one in the latest Knitty…
Thanks! I’ve started Pear Drop again on my lace needles (why I didn’t use them first I don’t know) and things are going well. But I like “Afternoon Tea” in Knitty, so I reckon that will get added to my queue ….
Pear Drop is adorable! Can’t wait to see how it comes out
