SCP #1 complete!

Finally, I put a little effort into it and finished...



Started: August 17, 2005
Finished: September 17, 2005
Pattern: Interweave Knits Pg 52...it's a secret!
Yarn: Jo Sharp Silkroad Tweed DK in Boheme
Adjustments: I lengthened the whole thing but that was it.
I really love doing the cables. I can't wait to show you a real photo, it is quite impressive. I would say it is one of my very favourites. The yarn is just gorgeous. I still need to block it. I think I will take detailed photos of how to wash and block it as I go to make up instructions (laminated of course) and put this in with the gift. Although, I will most likely be washing it when I go visit the recipient.
I am glad to strike one major holiday gift off the list! Now what...

  1. AHA! You're the one who bought up all the Boheme from Elann. I went to go order some after starting my secret project because I liked it so much...and it was gone. Sniff. Yours looks great, Carolyn--I still think it's hilarious that we were working on the same secret project with the same yarn at the same time!

  4. Wow, even if the little tiny bit that I can see looks amazing. I am just learning how to cable without a needle and now I can see how a project like this could be seriously fun.

    Can't wait to see the full pic!
