Notes

My second L’enveloppe. Initial swatching showing 14 stitches to 10 cms.

10/18/2020

I have made this exactly as my first one, same wool too, see my first L’envelope here with notes:

1 strand of Aztec held with 1 strand of kid silk, this gives soft fluffy cuddly feel to the garment & also gives some structure to this very drapey Aztec wool, holding it more in place.

Absolutely thrilled with this second. Now want to make in navy.

This might have looked prettier over a black dress for my photoshoot, perhaps at 63 I should not be in leggings any more without a longline top wink I certainly plan to wear it with my favourite flowing black evening dress.
