Scapulae


Starting off on my handmade challenge on the right foot with the first gift of the year off of the needles.
A little Scapulae for our niece for her birthday.  I love how this looks on.  It needs just the right dress though to pull it off.  This is the size 3 and fits Amelia at 7.  There will be more of these on the needles, Amelia has already put in her request. I would not class this as a beginner knit. Some former knowledge of knitting an item all in one and a degree in tongue twist and octopus hands is a requirement.  I'm looking into getting the cottage licence for this cardigan.  More details over on Ravelry

Joining these crafty souls.

  2. That would look fabulous in a nice fluffy white, for over a party dress in autumn or early spring!

    For me, I mean ;)

  6. Beautiful! Sounds like my knitting skills wouldn't handle this one too well, maybe in the future :)
