Ocean blue

I am so pleased that the Creme Brulee is finished. I took all these pictures pre-blocking (no, I will never have any patience). It is being blocked at the moment, which I hope will make it a wee bit bigger.




As you can see in the picture, it is a bit more fitted than the pattern says it should be. I've blocked it to the correct size, so time will tell. Even if it stays this size forever, it is nice. It was absolutely mindless knitting, which was perfect at night when I was relaxing. I'm excited to see how I enjoy wearing bamboo. 

Pattern: Creme Brulee
Yarn: Plymouth Yarn Bamtastic. I liked working with this yarn.
 
I'm also really pleased with how the three needle bind off looks on the sleeves. I'd done it once before, so long ago that I can't remember on a top I didn't keep, so it was nice to do it again. I love how it looks.

That's it for me this week. Have a great weekend.

    Thanks! Yes, I was amusing myself in the garden when I was taking the pictures. Pretty weed right?

    Gorgeous! I love that sweater :) I actually prefer the fitted look, so may have to knit it a size too small for myself ;)

    It looks perfect on you! The pattern and colour are beautiful - and it doesn't look remotely mindless to me!

    That sweater is beautiful and I would never guess to call it "mindless knitting"

    That looks really nice. I'll have to remember the three-needle bind off seam because that looks very tidy.

I love comments almost more than chocolate. Now that is saying something.
