My final project of 2011 was completed at 8:30pm on New Years Eve...
Pimpelliese [Rav link] by Christine Ebers; knit in Lion Brand Sock-Ease, colorway 202 Taffy
I love the way these colors work together. Teal is my fave and I like the way it looks with the dark mustard; the taupe-y color softens the contract between them nicely.
My blocking messed with the selvedge a bit. I used a couple of blocking wires and was less than careful about it: the upshot is, the raised bumps look a bit like eyelets now.
The knitting on this was simple and enjoyable. The photography on the project, however, was less than desirable. That is, my photography skills leave a lot to be desired. I mean, look at all the weird backgrounds and messy lighting. I may have to set up a makeshift "studio" in my guest room.
Gorgeous! I love it.
