As I knit these last few rows on the neck edging of the fiery bolero, I chanted: Please let me have enough yarn...please let me have enough yarn... ...AND I DID! Can I get a "Woot! Woot!"? |
By the time we were driving over the bridge into Blois (man, how I love this city) I was wearing the bolero over my white tank. Woot woot! | Yep. Started something new. Like, TOTALLY startitis, dude. | ...and this is what I'm knitting! (Another niece was born while we were in Blois! My siblings are lucky to have a knitter in the fam, don't you think?) | The castle peeking in the top center background is the Royal Castle at Blois, by the way. | Psst...the castle in the distance (to the left) is the Royal Castle at Amboise. | Here is a closer shot for you. (Pardon my windshield.) | Pretty view of La Loire. (The castle at Chaumont is to the right.) | Why, YES! I went bonkers with startistis and began another project. (A vest for my pops.) | Awwwwwwwwwwwwww! | What's that? You wanna zoom in? | Oh, alright. | Just look at those intarsia stripes. I think I used about 6 bobbins. ON EACH END. 6 for each sleeve, which means 12 bobbins for working the stripes on the sleeves. Sometimes I felt like I had a windchime in my hands. | No, your eyes do not deceive you.... | ...that is a water tank that looks like a tower of a castle. Vive La Loire! | And vive all those freaking bobbins! | |
