My favourite knit
Bells posted today about her favourite knit, and it seems as good a topic as any other! So I had a look through my Ravelry projects page, and pondered. My Shetland Shawl is on the list, because it felt like such an achievement when it was finished. I'm certainly proud of it.
Out of the garments I've knit, The one I'm happiest with is probably Buttercup.
And now that the weather is warming up again, I'm hoping to get a lot more wear out of it.
But my absolute favourite, purely for sentimental reasons, would have to be my Fern Garden Shawl.
Perhaps more commonly known as my Wedding Shawl.
I finished it 10 months before the wedding, and had to keep the fact that it was my Wedding Shawl quiet, as there were not very many people who knew there was even a wedding on the horizon. As soon as I saw the pattern, I knew it was the one I wanted, and it's made from my favourite yarn, Jaggerspun Zephyr in white. I took this shawl along, as well as Emily's (which was only half knit at the time) when I went fabric shopping for the dresses. Yes, I matched the fabric to the yarn rather than the other way around!
So that's my favourite knit!
In Daily Twinkie news, this is what happens as the night wears on. She starts off under the table, and as it gets later, and she starts getting ready for bed, she comes out further and further, until David gets her dinner for her.
Subtlety is not one of her strong points!

Heh, clever Twinkie!
Love the knits you've chosen - I can totally see why you have picked your favourite!

Posted by: Lynne at October 24, 2008 09:09 AMOh wow. Such a wonderful range of choice. I'd go the wedding shawl too. It's a breathtaking piece. You were a beautiful bride.

Posted by: dawny at October 24, 2008 09:46 AMOK have to ask where does Twinkie spend the night? Does she have a spot she always goes to sleep?
My three get crated at night so I know they aren't up to mischief.
*snort* Twinkle makes me laugh!
my fave (for what it's worth) is your wedding shawl - just beautiful and how perfect to wear something that you've created on your wedding day
lovely
*snort* sorry,Twinkle is still making me laugh with the subtlety :)
