First FO item Ive posted here. I made the Knitty Coronet for a friend’s birthday out of Debbie Bliss alpaca silk yarn. It was supposed to have been in a double strand of KP elegance, but there was a small tragedy involved the kitchener stitch on the band (ok, it happened twice, dont knit on 2 straight days of 3 hours sleep), and when I tried to frog it a second time the yarn had felted. So off to the LYS for something similar.
I think it would have been a bit better in the elegance, but what can ya do when the party is 1.5 days away.
It worked out fairly well, actually. She finally moved the last of her stored stuff out of her parents house, and her winter hats got lost in the shuffle, so she needed to get a new one. I had no idea of this, so it was a very happy coincidence.
I really enjoyed knitting this. In fact, Ive started another one using Londra by lane cervinia, an alpaca/merino/acrylic blend. I picked it up at the last Smiley’s yarn sale.
