My math turned out to be correct. I did finish off the third skein with a scarf about 66 inches (168 cm) long. So, as I explained last week, I used that fourth skein (with its color a little bit off) to do a little border thing on the top and bottom.
It's kind of hard to see that the edges are just a little bit different. So, success. I managed to make it all look deliberate.
Once I finished off the top and bottom, I single crocheted around the whole thing. In the above photo, you might be able to see how the edges are just a little bit different. But it looks good, and I'm happy with it.
And because it was requested, here I am wearing it, so you can get an idea of what it looks like on a person...
There you have it. My Christmas presents for 2019 are now all finished. All that's left is to get this into the mail and to my sister-in-law. Just in time for spring...
Oooh, nice ....
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteIt looks warm! Though I'm guessing it would be too hot for you to keep it on longer than for the photo. :)
ReplyDeleteYou could easily duplicate it. I'll send you the specifics if you want them.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out really nice. Can't tell the yarn doesn't match exactly.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. That turned out really good. Now time to start this yrs gifts.
ReplyDeleteI'm sending out requests for requests as we speak.
DeleteLove it! It looks so snuggly. The yarn is gorgeous and the border is a lovely touch.
ReplyDeleteLooks good! At least you got it done, right?
ReplyDeleteBetty
Spring can be chilly. ~grin~ Well done.
ReplyDeleteSpring chilly? Not around these parts.
DeleteI'm thinking that brought a big smile to your Sister in law?
ReplyDeleteWren x
I don't know. She hasn't gotten it yet. I need to get it in the mail this week.
DeleteSuccess, indeed!
ReplyDeleteYay.
DeleteThis is pretty and I can see the difference in height if that makes sense. I love it. This will keep her warm
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what you mean, but the difference is there.
DeleteIt's very pretty. I love the colors. Maybe it's a good thing it wasn't finished at Christmas, since everyone can use any extra little bit of happiness right now.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's kinda nice to send something out when times are like these.
DeleteIt's still cool here. When it's sunny, the wind blows. That shawl sure looks nice.
ReplyDeleteSpring is coming...
DeleteOh, I LOVE that! It really makes me wish I lived somewhere other than a tropical god-forsaken swamp state.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting a picture (and then telling me about the post...)! I appreciate it!
Whooo-hoooo!
