Finished Object--Knitty's Cozy
Aha! Totally done. This was a huge (for me!) lace project, and it took a couple of months, although I did keep putting it aside for other things. But I was knitting this for my mother who kept complaining about how cold it was at work, so she really provided an incentive to hurry up and finish!
It's still blocking, but I think it looks pretty good. It's amazing to me how I could create something so delicate and intricate looking. And yet the pattern is not really difficult at all!
Project Specs:
Pattern: Cozy from Knitty
Yarn: Andean Silk from Knitpicks, Cream
Needle: Addi Turbo, size 8
Such a fun project, and the stitch pattern was pretty easy, even for me, being a lace novice. I'm sure there are some mistakes in there (Mom'll find 'em!), but it turned out beautifully.

It's gorgeous! How many skeins did you use? I like that Andean Silk
It's gorgeous! Your mom is very lucky!
Very pretty!! I have that on my list to make....
That came out really beautiful!! In fact, I love yours so much, I just printed a copy of the pattern so I can make one. Like Lori, I'd love to know how many skeins you needed. :)
I believe I used 12 skeins. I made it a little wider than the original pattern--I used 103 stitches. I don't know how long it ended up being; I haven't measured it yet. But my mom wanted to be able to use it as a wrap or a lap blanket, orwhatever, so I wanted it to be versatile!
That is lovely lace, well done.
Emma, that is beautiful! inspiringly beautiful! Congratulations. I was also bitten with the 'warshrag' bug, funny little mindless knitting....
Great knitting!
lovely! I've had Cozy in my to do list for ages--maybe I should get to it.
It's beautiful! I tried lace a few weeks ago - but ripped the whole thing out. I think this may be a good pattern to try because it uses a thicker yarn than laceweight.
Great job!
That looks really awesome!!!
i'm sure yo' mama will love it!!!
xo- your SP8
Very nice, and what a great gift!
It's so pretty! And your lace knitting looks great!
It looks great! You knitted the lace beautifully.
Looks great - and it is big, you should be proud for sticking at it. I'm sure your Mom is going to love keeping warm with cozy.
I love it! It looks grat! I think your mom will love it.
