I finished the rebellion sweater for V with my little embellishment. She will probably never willingly put it on. I admit to being a bit gutted but I mean, I don't know what I expected. It's not really her problem that I was excited about this sweater!
With the last of the yarn, I crocheted a quick little trivet. If I backed it with a flat round, it might make a nice all-purpose hot pad. A little pattern idea to noodle on.
Anyway, not content with my little sweater rebellion, and riding high on birthday fumes, I pulled out two more rebellion projects from the depths of my Hell Pile. The purple is some Rastita in Dewberry, now discontinued, my Aethercopter now with the band completed and joined. Just 2 full skeins of lace left to go, with a picot bind-off. I still find all of the partially felted Malabrigo single ply lovely to work with.
And the second is a WIP that I wasn't happy with. The Ursina by Jacqueline Cieslak. I was intending to make the cropped version, and after finishing the body, I tried it on with my favorite high waisted pants and it was an awkward length on me. It exposed not like, a strip of tummy, but rather an eye-shaped pointy oval of tummy. I debated with myself but ultimately, I wanted a few more inches on the body. I really did unpick an entire tubular bind-off and frogged 5 inches (ish) of half-brioche ribbing to put it back on the needles. In the picture, there's a bronze removable stitch marker at the original length, so I've added 4-5" now. I'm so gun-shy about re-doing it again that I haven't convinced myself to switch to the triangle detail to finish the body yet. But then again, I've used all but one skein of my yarn and need to move on at some point so I can get a decent sleeve length at the end of all this. Yarn is FibraNatura Cobblestone in Mallard.
