pink memories
Tuesday, February 07, 2017
Finally, I finished Pink Memories. I had an issue with the yarn and while waiting for a replacement, lost my steam. Was glad to pick it up again and finish the sleeves.
This sweater is sold as either the individual pattern or as a kit. I ended up buying the kit, but had a few different dye lots of yarn. (You can buy it with two different shades of pink.) She was wonderful to work with and ended up sending more yarn suggesting I alternate yarns to make the yarns blend a little better. Can you see it?!
I adore the little pocket. You can see the bit of striping better in this photo. It doesn't really bother me. While the front is a garter stitch, the back is stockinette. A purl row up the sleeve gives it a look of a "seam". Not sure that is completely necessary. But, might be a nice added bit of interest.
Patten: Pink Memories
Yarn: Came as a kit.
Needles: US 4 and US 5
Mods: Didn't really make any. Not sure why, but my neck is a bit "tighter" than I would like. I may end up re-doing the neck. Just not right now. 😁
We are headed to the Grand Canyon. I am so excited!
