Super quick knit and a great accessory to pep up any outfit. The yarn is sooo amazingly soft and buttery to work with (and has the kind of subtle variegation that is so difficult to get ‘right’) - if you like Madelinetosh but want a wee bit less variegation, this is your yarn (I wouldn’t be surprised to see this brand going really big). The pattern itself is a total no-brainer (thank you so much Annie for the inspiration) with an easy-to-remember lace bit (I normally have no short term memory, but these repeats I ‘got’ straight away and hardly had to refer to the pattern). Didn’t do the picots - not my cup of tea - did JSSB instead:).

Sorry about the terribly unflattering dress - I just love the print!

Am playing around with the idea of spending autumn 2011 in Portland, Oregon (if you know anyone who needs housesitting then or of a reasonably priced studio and ideally in the SE Portland area between Burnside and Powell Blvd and no further up than SE 40th), then please let me know;).
