Thursday, September 21, 2006 Liesel is done! She's been washed and lightly blocked. This is the result: I am thinking that I may need to block it again, a bit more severely this time. Perhaps I should steam it lightly with a warm iron to help the lace open up a little. What do you think? Right now she measures about 66 inches, which is a good length for my pal. I am so relieved as I only had one skein of that yarn and was afraid it would not be long enough. However, we all know now, one skein of SWTC Bamboo yarn can be knitted into 66 inches of Liesel. Want to see how much yarn I have left? Yup, that's all that's leftover! Talk about cutting it close. I nearly thought I wouldn't make it, but I did. Only just. Phew...

Were you nervous that you'd run out of yarn? # posted by  AR : Thu Sept 21, 11:52:00 pm AEST   Lovely! # posted by  BrownPants : Fri Sept 22, 04:35:00 pm AEST   I would have been holding my breath on the bind off row for sure! It looks great, but I would just wash and block more severely to open the lace. # posted by  Dorothy : Sat Sept 23, 02:31:00 pm AEST   Wish I could maximize my yarn usage -- lately, I keep having to break into a new balls just for armhole edgings etc. Sheesh....talk about annoyingly excess yarn! # posted by  emy : Sat Sept 23, 08:09:00 pm AEST   Post a Comment << Home Join List Previous Next Random Join List Previous Next The Spinning Wheel Join | List | Previous | Next | Random Join List Previous Next Join List Previous Next Powered by RingSurf Previous Posts A better picture One finished object and two new projects Spinning Roving Swap Questionaire Project Colourswap Questionaire - Red/Pink He's home!
