Yes, yet again, a third Liesl. This one is a shop sample in Velvet Wool (really love the Velvet Wool):
And this won't be the last Liesl. Yep, there's a fourth one in the planning stages -- it'll be kind of an interesting project, which I'll document here once I get around to it (hoping right after this Liesl is done, but the reality is I still have to put a workshop together for the beginning of March, so that'll take priority).
Liesl Mach One is finished -- has been for a few days, was washed and blocked, and now all it needs is buttons (don't get me started on that rant, because the Quest for Buttons is a post for another day. Or two.)
The surprise? The thing fits. Perfectly. (Okay, the sleeves are a smidge long, but okay). And I liked it so much, I decided I needed another one:
The yarn is Rowan Cork (yes, when I like a yarn, they discontinue it. Be very afraid for Felted Tweed, which is my fave yarn ever) in the deliciously named colourway "Sour". Bought the yarn in a stopover in London on our way back to Canada, had half knit myself a very funky sweater that I abandoned when I gained weight. Finally decided I couldn't count on losing the weight, so I'm repurposing the yarn into a Liesl.
Because one of the things I'm bound and determined to do this year is knit up a whole whack of my stash.
Okay, now I've gotta go knit. Liesl One photos when I get some buttons. Or not, given the lack of buttons around here.
