Seriously -- if I'd thought even for a moment that I would miss the deadline on this, I wouldn't have taken it on. But I finished it with plenty of time to spare, and it turned out well, if I do say so myself:
The Deets:
Pattern: Caricia by Anne Hanson of Knitspot
Yarn: Briar Rose Fibers Sea Pearl (Merino and Tencel, have misplaced the label so not sure in which proportions.)
Started: April 16th, 2010
Finished: April 26th, 2010
And I'm quite smug enough to point out that I lost almost two days of knitting time during that 10 day period to illness, so really, 8 days total from start to finish. AND I managed to finish up a sample of one of my own patterns in time for the DKC Frolic on May 8th as well.
No general pattern modifications -- never when I'm knitting shop samples -- but I didn't have enough yarn to work fifteen full repeats before the ending repeat -- I worked fourteen instead, then worked the instructions for ending it off. But it's still a pretty decent size nonetheless.
And now, onwards, with a new shop sample: this time, Pam Allen's Eyelet Tank in CE Pebbles.
