Finis!

I have finished the Isis Wrap. Finally. I think it turned out pretty well. I'm not very good at seams but they don't look terrible. (At least not too terrible.) I think the sleeves look a little strange. They seem to end rather abruptly.

But the biggest problem? It looks ridiculous on me. I was prepared for this possibility so I’m not heartbroken. It needs to be at least 6 inches longer before it looks not silly on me. Sure, I considered it, but I don’t have enough yarn. I could make the sleeves longer but I can’t really think of a good way to do that. Know anybody who wants a little sweater?

After the sweater was done I finished this pair of mittens. These are knit out of some Manos Del Uruguay that Brooke gave me as a wedding shower gift. I like these and they fit me and I am keeping them. I might have to fight Sally for them though. She likes these far better than either the fuzzy feet or her toys.

After the success of the mittens I decided to try the Clapotis. I don’t remember what this yarn is. I reclaimed it from a bad sweater idea I had. (Hmmm. Is there a pattern here?) Of course, I am now looking at this yarn thinking it would be perfect for a child’s sweater. (I’ve made successful children’s sweater so this isn’t as bad an idea as it sounds.) So I’m going to continue working the Clapotis until one of the dropped stitches. If it doesn’t make my heart sing, I might tear it out and save it for a child’s sweater.

And just for your viewing pleasure, pictures of the dogs toys, before and after felting.
