She's GORGEOUS. Recycled wool from an ugly mint green GAP sweater. I just can't wear her until... well, at the rate we're going, never. I certainly plan on a cotton version, no worries... but for now, am making another one (also in wool... gahhh) that I also dyed. Although it's not really a Summer Flies... it's the same shape and beginning, but I decided to leave out the butterflies section and improvise with the star stitch and ridged eyelets instead. I'm going to put in a few strips of stockinette too, to show off the unusual color combo. I can follow a pattern to the letter exactly once... and then inevitably, I have to color outside the lines. I'm such a shawl junkie at the moment... ironic, considering it's gonna be SO FUCKING HOT ALLLLL WEEEEEK BAHHHHHHHH. Anyhow, without further ado, pics:
The top picture is more accurate, as far as color goes. But oh boy... I love her <3
