April 2009 Archives

FO: Rothko's No.5 / No.22, originally uploaded by elemmaciltur.

Start: 6th March 2009
Finished: 18th April 2009
Needles: 4 mm and 4.5 mm Addi Turbos
Yarns: GGH "Linova"; 74% cotton, 26% linen; 4 balls of #35 "Hummer", 5 balls of #36 "Orange" and 2 balls of #6 "Red"
Pattern: "Minikleid in Rottoenen", model no. 29 from Rebecca Magazine #39. Ravelled.
For: Knitted for the shop - Lanaiolo
Modification: Knitted the body in the round up to the armhole point, then knitted the front and back separately back and forth. Sleeves are knitted according to the pattern, but used the size for 40/41 instead because the sleeves for 38/39 seemed to turn out tiny. I substituted the small striping from the pattern's #23 "red-brown" to #06 "Red".
