I mentioned the other day that I was tempted to rework Ysolda’s Liesl pattern for my 4-ply Eva yarn. Turns out I don’t need to – if I knit two strands of Eva together, I get exactly the right gauge for the pattern as written. So that is what I am doing.
It’s a delight to knit. I love this yarn, and I love this pattern. If it wasn’t for the fact that my hand is now hurting from knitting, it would almost make up for the fact that I am still stuck at home recuperating from bronchitis. Here’s how far I got before I had to stop.
Oh well, back to watching Miss Marple I guess.
Beautiful work!!!
Wish you a fast recuperation from bronchitis. And thanks for the Miss Marple idea – I will get this and H. Poirot series for my daily evening knitting.
Oh – I am jealous! That colour is exquisite and the pattern is perfect for it. With your light skin and dark hair it will look stunning on you.
That’s beautiful and it makes me so excited to see it in progress because I just started swatching for Liesl, for the Raveolympics.
Michelle is right, this’ll be perfect with your skin and hair tone! I’m still amazed you managed to score some Posh yarn!
Clever girl, good thinking!
Pretty!
Beautiful work… I love the color..a bit biased though because I love pink in any shade.
Enjoy Miss Marple – there must be some benefit to having had bronchitis.
Email me when you’re up for the spinning – whenever you’re feeling better
Excellent, excellent choice! It’s one of those instances of seeing a yarn and a project and just knowing they were meant to be paired up.
Absolute bummer about the pain though. that’s not good at all!
This is so lovely. I’ve never been much taken with feather and fan, but your liesl is making me change my mind!
Looks great! You got incredible stitch definition, even with the two strands held together. Good job!
The two strands held together definitely saved you a lot of trouble reworking the pattern. It looks great!
Thats so pretty! Thank you for mentioning my cardigan!
Wonderful. I’ve bought this pattern and must get on with it!! Love Miss Marple’s for recuperating too though as I didn’t have any to hand I’ve been watching some Poirot’s
