FO: prairie tunic
pattern: prairie tunic from interweave knits, spring 2006
size: 33" bust
for: me
timeline: started 05.19.2007; finished 06.08.2007
yarn: <4 balls of rowan 4-ply cotton in ardour
needles: US size 3 addi turbo circs
this ended up being a fantastic project to work on while on the bus. the lace pattern is interesting, but easy to memorize. the biggest pain was definitely making the cord for the straps.
the few finished prairie tunics that i saw on blogs ended up being too big, so i made one size smaller than i normally would. even with that, i think it's still a bit baggier in the waist than i normally like. however, i do like it and i think i'll wear it.
Comments:
It turned out cute! And that color looks great on you, you should definitely wear it with pride. : )
thanks for all the comments! i actually wore it out on saturday and to work today, so i guess i am going to be wearing it. hurrah!
