Diamond lace kimono

Postby girlinleeds » Tue May 12, 2020 9:44 am

The pattern is diamond lace kimono by kaitlin blasing, the wool is a dk pure wool that my local wool shop was selling of at 1p a gram as it was unlabelled, so not sure of type or brand.
First time following a knitting chart for the pattern and I probably should have picked something smaller to start with. Went wrong part way through and had to frog a day's work and I nearly gave up.
Finished last night and it's currently blocking in the garden as it's too big to go anywhere in the house, just have to sew the side seams when it's done (advises to wait till blocked to do that or it's to hard to properly block)

Wow :thumbsup: :thumbsup: that is gorgeous! I can't wait to see it all sewn up. Looks like you have nice sunny weather so won't take too long to dry!

Had a very unenthusiastic model this morning. Think I should have used a bigger needle to cast of but otherwise I'm happy with it Image
