The body of Zooey’s mini Still Light Tunic is finished! She had a few complaints about the “skirt” as I was knitting it, mostly because it doesn’t contain ruffles. I think she will change her mind when she puts it on, and I’ve let her know that if she doesn’t like it I will save it for Charlotte. That revs the competitive spirit right back up and she decides that she likes it. Ah, parenthood.
I love the colors in this Party of Five Jelly Bean set. From top to bottom they are orchid, clementine, tangerine, persimmon, and dutch. I am deeply in love with all of them and have fantasized thoroughly about a sweater in tangerine or persimmon.
All that remains are the sleeves (in orchid) and a tiny button to sew on at the back. I believe that I will be making three quarter length sleeves, as in the original Still Light Tunic. I am going to see if I can get Z to try it on this evening to get a little preview. I suppose I will have to make her something with ruffles sometime because she wants it so badly, but ruffles wear me out!
I used as much of the gradient kit as I possibly could. What you see at the bottom of this ribbed hem is all that remains of the final color. Talk about yarn chicken.
These colors make me so happy. I think they’re a great antidote to winter blahs. I wish the set came in 400 yard skeins, but I guess I could just buy them in full skeins and replicate this citrus rainbow goodness. Consider yourself enabled.
I absolutely love pinks and oranges together! This is turning out super cute 🙂 I can’t wait to see the finished product.
That looks beautiful! It’s great colors to work with in the winter!!
Gorgeous! Makes me wish you were my mom.
Love it! I need to kick out a gift knit so I can get back to my Still Light!
So pretty!!
One Party of five set was enough yarn for this? Wow.. I’ll have start planning something equally cute with the set sitting in my stash.
