Part One | Part Two | Part Three | Part Four
Céleste is blocked and… improved. But I’m still not speaking to her.
I’m wearing different trousers for these photos so it’s hard to tell but there is a little extra length now. It’s very light and floaty and so probably pretty comfortable, if I can get over my grudges and actually wear it…
The drape is better but skew-whiff across the hem (or perhaps I stand on a previously un-noticed angle?).
The neckline is much better and not uncomfortable at all! That’s an unqualified success. It doesn’t need picked up or finished off, it’s fine just as it is.
Not only am I wearing different trousers but also I stood nearer the camera so this before and after doesn’t show the difference as much as I might like. But you can see it’s smoothed out and not all bumphled up across the bottom.
You can also see that I’ve coloured my hair since I wrote the last post.
This is a pattern that’s recommended for the yarn, which is Phildar Leo Concept. You can find it on Ravelry or download for free from happywool.com. It comes in a 230g ball, and I have 53g left, which I think is about 300 yards.
It recommends a 6mm needle which makes a nice enough fabric – somewhat sheer but not see-through. I’m not sure whether I’ll use or donate what’s left. I have small scraps of other mohair-style yarn that could maybe be combined into a stripey scarf? It’s under consideration.
