It seems like an age since I had an FO to show, but here at last is my Posh Yarn cardi in all its glory. For those of you out there who have drooled over (not literally) this gorgeous yarn, and have passed it around between you at recent Ely and Cambridge ktogs, I give you "Flounce" and hope you like the finished article as much as I do. The low down: "Amelia" dk in colourway "Loiter", fibre content merino/alpaca, 4x100g skeins have made a waist length fitted cardi with flounced edges at the hem and sleeves, which are 3/4 length with set in shoulders, V-neck with shawl collar in moss stitch. There's even about 40g leftover.
I've cast on for a new project using the laceweight I dyed at Liz's workshop last summer, a large lace stole for my youngest daughter which I promised her months ago and was one of the many frogged objects. No photos yet as there isn't much of it, but as it grows I'll show the progress.

Oh Jayne, it looks so pretty and I can feel the softness from here!

I really wouldn't bet on us not having drooled on that yarn at some point. In the nicest possible way, of course... Looks lovely....!

Well, we may not have drooled; but we've sniffed it and cuddled it and stroked it. How safe will you be when wearing flounce (which looks simply gorgeous, by the way)...
