When not knitting

Orangina
Pattern: "Orangina" from Stefanie Japel
Yarn: Debbie Bliss Cathay, color Teal 07, 5 balls.
Needles: Addi Turbo US 5 24"
Cast On: March 13
Cast Off: April 6
Mods: I knitted this on a larger gauge so made 94 sts to get a 35" chest. I also made the ribbing a little bit longer.
Comments: I'm really behind on my FOs, but Im getting there. Anyway, let's get to the review, this yarn feels like heven but is splitty, but not too difficult to work with and creates a fabric with great drape, it was a very good choice for this pattern and a quick knit. The lace itself is everything lace should be: easy to do, fun to knit and looks very impressive. As for the pattern I would recomend a bit of waist shapping on the lace part or at least make the ribbing with smaller needles. Frankly I expected more of this pattern. I will (someday) rip and add some shaping because this just isn't working for me.
Also I'm happy to announce that I have found a fellow mexican knitter, the lovely Andrea . She does amazing stuff, and as far as I can see she's very good with math, be sure to check her blog.

Chido el tejido, me tejes un morralito para mis flautas? Es mi destino vivir sin nada que hayan tejido tus manos? Si la entropia del universo sigue en aumento, como justifican la teoria de que el universo se volvera a contraer? Es la tela de la vida tejida con Addi Turbo's? Por que estoy haciendo estas preguntas?

Por que no inviertes en una franquicia de alguna tienda de YARN? Eh? ^_^

Se ve super bien tu orangina, no sabes las ganas que me dan, hasta tengo un estambre que creo que quedaría muy bien. Aunque como estoy un poco gordis dudo que se me vea bien. Contesté el correo que me enviaste no se si te llegó. Agradezco el comentario de arriba sobre el chaleco de Wallace.

Jeje, gracias por los comentarios. Si te animas con el orangina, yo te recomendaria que lo hicieras chaleco con cuello v o blusa con mangas, porque esta medio gacho el patron. Gracias por seguir visitando.
