Fly by
Just a quick fly by, finished Shedir.....it's a fiddly knit but really enjoyed watching the pattern come about...I used the Rowan Calmer, colour is Pool, and although the yarn is soft, it's a cotton blend and I honestly wasn't that thrilled with it.......I do think I would consider doing another one, perhaps using KnitPicks cotton, Shine...which is machine washable, perhaps after the holidays I'll make her another one, easier care and all that.

So. Beautiful!
Gorgeous! I love the picture, too.
Nice! I was going to make this for someone I know who is going through chemo yet again - leukemia, recurrence after 2 bone marrow transplants - but she's pretty young and this may not be quite right for her. I found one over on the Head Huggers site, www.headhuggers.org, that looks just like a wig, so I may make her a punk rocker one in purple or shocking blue :)
Where does this pattern come from? I Just love it!
Oh, I just found it!
I love the pattern too! So...where does it come from, anyway? I'll have to do some google-ing and find it too. :)
ooh - pretty!
The pattern is called Shedir, and you can find it by searching the patterns at Knitty (www.knitty.com). Lots of good stuff there.
