Enough about Rhinebeck already!
I have a finished object! And no it isnt' my shawl......
Aren't they Fetching?
I love this pattern! I saw a lot of these at Rhinebeck. There is that word again.....
It was quick and easy. The only thing I would change the next time I make these is to perhaps not do the picot edging. I thought it was a little "loose" but it doesn't look too bad.... Here is a detail shot:
Specs:
Yarn: hand dyed by me (kool aid... sigh....)
Needles: US 6 Double Pointed
You know the pattern.
Just when you thought you had seen enough...
Have a good weekend! I am off to NYC Monday thru Wednesday.

Woo, Geek in the city ;) Color me jealous (again)
I've been eyeing the Fetchings hogging the blogosphere myself. My aging hands are always cold these days (but I have so much more to finish first!)
Have fun in the city!

You know, since I haven't been perusing the blogs that much lately (due to sickness), I haven't seen those around. And I am loving them. That may be one of my next "quick" projects.

oh so pretty! i love them in that yarn! mine are a bit loose on the edge as well - picots will do that to a girl i think ;-)
have a great weekend and have fun in nyc!

Oh, those turned out so cool. Believe it or not, I don't think I've even seen that pattern.

These are so FUN! I have my eyes on these for Christmas pressies. I love the yarn you dyed and it looks great in that pattern!
Have fun in the city, gf!

Excellent fetchings!

I was just sitting here thinking that I remember meeting you but that's it. I couldn't remember talking to you. That day was such a whirlwind. I kept meeting people and then they were gone... or my attention was. I'm sorry I didn't get to talk to you more! Next year?

I actually just bought yarn for these yesterday :)

Love the cables girl! But you're right.. I think I'd like them a little more snug around the fingers too.. but HEY.. at least YOU get some things finished!!!
Call me when you get settled from your NYC trip!
