Thursday's Ta-Dah

A little ta-dah today. I actually finished this a couple of days ago but only put the buttons on today. I am calling this one the Chelsea after my niece.......


 I used pure wool for the pink part and acrylic for the main. Only because it was the only colour I could find in my stash that would match the pink.

It was purely one of those over sights. I thought I had 6 balls of the pink and I only had 2. So rather than start over I just used what I had.

I had originally started with a pattern but after the 3rd row the pattern did not make sense so in my usual fashion I just changed it and made it up as I went along.

All in all, it did not turn out too bad I guess.



I would like to make this in either cotton or pure wool as the main part this time was in acrylic and I can't say that I am entirely satisfied with the result. It looks better in real life than in pictures but still you all know me by now. A bit fussy about my yarn and self critical about my work. LOL

I am pretty sure my niece will love it. :-)

  2. It's adorable, I bet she will look perfect in it. I know what you mean about acrylics, I have a ton of them to use up but really only want to use them for very large projects, like blankets.
