grecian

I finally snapped a couple of shots of my Grecian FO over the weekend, these photos are a long time promised on here and over at Ravelry :)

My favourite aspect of the project was by far was using a hemp blend for the first time and the sideways cable edging, I really liked this technique. You can see by the puckering around the shoulder area that I followed the count for picking up stitches in each area exactly – it’s not as noticeable when worn so I don’t think I need to re-knit the neckline.

Right now I’m on a skirt & dress knitting kick so I’ll probably be casting on a couple of new projects over the next week (and no, I haven’t finished that last shoulder of Honeybee, but I’m sure the inspiration will kick in soon… right?).
