Hey, I finished mine!

I just realized that I never posted my finished Hopeful to the knitalong - so here she is!

I really had fun with this one, and I love the finished product. I used Rowan Wool Cotton in the discontinued color Lavish. The only chenge I made was to do the SSK at the neckline as explained by Marnie.

I get compliments every time I wear it - congratulations to Jenna for such a gorgeous pattern!

Finally started!

I bought some lovely KnitPicks Ambrosia in Fog for Hopeful a while back, but got distracted by some gift knitting. I finally cast on last Friday, and knit about 6" in a few days. I'm about halfway through the waist increases.



This is a gorgeous yarn, but it's drapier and not as springy as Wool Cotton, so I went with a little bit of negative ease. I'm not too certain about my choice, but I should be at a try-on point soon.
