One Little FO
I did do a tiny bit of knitting while away last week. I worked on the Faux Russian Stole in the foolish hopes that I would be done by Mother’s Day. Ha! Not even close. I still have one full repeat to go, if I follow the pattern. I could stop now, and hope that blocking stretches the stole to the right length. After all, the thing is taller than I am! And I am somewhat worried that adding another repeat (about another 12”) would make it too long. Decisions, decisions.
I have now worked on this stole near 3 major rivers: the East River, the Hudson River and the Mississippi River. Above is a pic of Ole Miss from the bench where I was trying to knit. The wind and unrelenting sun made it a chore, so I stopped after only 2 rows.
I finished another little item while out in the midwest: little Pasha the Penguin from knitty.com. Here are before and after shots. Sorry about the bad lighting in the hotel room.
Mine looks a bit different, but it is due to the stuffing (I need tips! don’t think I did this so well) and the sewing up. I did also substitute Caron Simply Soft for the yellow parts.
