Glitz at the Ritz
love. Love. LOVE my Glitz at the Ritz shawl!
All my mess-ups and tear-outs were totally worth the final product:
Even the really, really, really long beaded picot bind-off that took 80 hours. Not really 80 hours. It took three quarters of a Lifetime Christmas movie.
Made with Periwinkle Sheep Watercolors sock yarn. 75% merino wool, 25% nylon. 460 yards/100 grams.
And also, I finished a Loved knitted crown:
Now I have two, ready to give at Christmas.
And finished my Sweet Tomato Heel socks:
And worked on and sent off my next Travelling Socks:
One more set to go, then I’ll get mine!
And started and finished a Super Basic Hat to donate to The Spinning Room’s tree for the Festival of Trees in town:
Super basic and super quick to knit. It was hard on my hands, though, and I found out later it was because I was using a smaller needle than the pattern called for. Duh. But, it resulted in a very dense and therefore very warm hat! After the festival is over, the hats and mittens will be donated to a local shelter. Bonus!
Lots of finishing. Now on to lots of starting,,,,
Glitz at the Ritz is gorgeous! A real stunner.
Thanks Libby!
Everything is beautiful, I absolutely love the shawl, never in a million years could I do that pattern.
Love the crown hats, is the pattern on Ravelry?
Got one clog done / starting the other clog, can’t wait to see the finished clogs
Annette
Yes, you could do that pattern Annette! The crown pattern is on Ravelry – just click on the word “Loved” (bolded and underlined) in the blog post (it is a link) and it will take you there. Can’t wait to see your clogs!
P.S. I’ll have to remember to take pictures of the clogs in class to put on the blog…
