FO: Liesl
I have made a Liesl:
The colours are a bit more true here, though:
And just to show the feather and fan pattern off a bit more, and because I rambled for ages without an image in my last post:
What I don’t have at the moment is photographic evidence that it fits me like a glove, so unless you happen to know me personally you might have to take my word for that. It does, though. It is toasty, too, being made from Manos del Uruguay wool and silk blend.
I had to do a fair amount of maths to make it work, since the pattern is written for aran and chunky yarns and the Manos (which is Really Quite Lovely) is more of a DK, but it looks like my mathematic skills haven’t quite deserted me yet. Probably the knitted garment with which I’m happiest, over all. Wooyay!

Its beautiful Cat - I can’t quite believe how you have apparently leapt from knitting novice to expert in such a short time
I hope it isn’t covered in dust

Thank you
And nope, it’s safely upstairs! Fortunately, it’s currently only dusty in the screened off areas with the Really Noisy fans and the HUGE Dehumidifier in them so we’re not too bad. Until we start stripping wallpaper and taking the rest of the downstairs floor up, I suppose!

That’s gorgeous. I love the feather and fan in those colours.
