One Stina Wonder


by Nanc filed under knitting on August 30, 2005 12:07 PM

I've got an FO, and that makes me happy!



I finished the one skein wonder for my friend Stina. This is 'technically' the second osw I've made, but it also confirms that the first one is not going to work. No living human could arrange their torso to comfortably fit into the glittery wonder. ('Cept him.) I just don't know if I have the strength in me to knit it again - in that yarn!

But on the positive side, Stina looks fab in her new shrug!
sorry 'bout the pix: forgot camera and only had camera-phone on me

As an added bonus to the night... I got to snap a pic of Bethany sporting her new, loooooong scarf! (Again, I apologize for the image's quality.)

YAY! It's cute! I keep seeing the OSW's around, but I don't think I'd enjoy wearing one, so I'll leave it for other people, but Stina looks happy :)

Nanc! Great OSW. Did it take the whole one skein?
