Momma’s Ishbel
I am officially in love with this—and I would totally make one for myself if it weren’t for a lace shawl threatening my masculinity. Who am I kidding? Lace? Sure, why not.
A lot of fun and probably my favorite project so far. And this despite having to frog it back not once, not twice, but thrice. If anything, the stockinette was the most difficult part for me. Twas rather easy to forget an increase on one side and ending up with an unequal stitch count on either side of the center stitch. Once I conceded to stitch markers to keep count, everything went much better. The lace was consequently much easier, the pattern helping me keep track of the equal stitch count.
I love it so much—and I’m so happy that this is going to my Momma. Even the colours remind me of her. I really do hope she will love it, and I think she will. I don’t think she’ll wear it, however.
