FO: Cozy

#1

I finished Cozy Friday night and it just finished blocking this afternoon. Blocking made a HUGE difference. I was sure to strech it out so the lace pattern really shows now. I’m happy with it. It is a birthday gift for my boss.

Thanks to Ingrid for the blocking technique - towels on the carpet with some blocking pins worked perfectly!

Details
Pattern: Cozy from Knitty
Yarn: Adrienne Vittadini - Dianna in Citron that I bought from here. The pattern used 10.5 balls total.
Needles: Addi Turbo, US 8 24" circulars

The bottom picture shows the color the best. My bosses favorite designer is Adrienne Vittadini and since I can’t afford to buy anything from the designer I figured the yarn was the next best thing!!

Here’s the finished product:

im so in awe! its beautiful. i keep zoning out and making mistakes in simple k2p2 (never will i rib stitch again while watching an action thriller with cuba gooding jr in it SEXXXY!!! i couldnt take my eyes off him).

it must take a huge effort and mental concentration to do that.

Wow that is beautiful! Well done! Lovely lacework, I don’t think I could concentrate that much either! :cheering:

:blush: Thanks everyone!

I did struggle with the pattern at first - I almost gave up. I put life lines in every pattern repeat (8 rows) and only had to frog back once. The pattern is also worked over 6 stitches so I had stitch markers every 6 stitches. It seems like over kill, but it was my mental reminder to keep on task!

For a lace project this was great because it used a worsted weight yarn and bigger needles, so it was a nice introduction.

My boss is very great and has had a tough year at work, so I wanted to give her something very special.

It’s a lovely Cozy. I have been considering trying that pattern. How long did it take you?? I’m also glad to see you used a cotton blend, the pattern calls for silk and I have been considering a less expensive alternative. I’m glad to see it looked nice in a cotton blend as well. Thanks for sharing. Amy
