never doubted I could do it. really.

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.
