FRONT:FOLD:LINE
I have that slightly euphoric feeling of having completed something small, yet terribly significant. And to celebrate I'm only going to show a snippet, a mere peak at what will come which is terribly unfair because you really can't share in my euphoria. I could have shown the whole front, but the truth is it needs pressing and steaming, and, really, it needs a back and two sleeves to make a whole and be seen on a suitable model (the button is just for show, I'm waiting for something very special). What you are currently looking at is the left shoulder, where the fold comes across and is secured with a timber button. Subtle shaping through all lines of the fold give it shape and definition, and the whole fold, neck and hemline are asymetric. As a flat piece it looks fabulous even in it's unpressed state. As a worn piece I think it will fall with grace. I think potato will look great mashed in it. And vegemite will blend well with the colouring. This Habu thing. I am in love. I love the blending of fibres, of textures, of colours, I love the freedom to create, to shape, and to experiment. I just love. Full stop.
good to see you have a sense of humour re the ignorance of the magnificent creation your young wearer will have! the colours are superb. i suppose one for me is out of the question??!! lovely, alison.

The yarn looks wonderful, and I already like the button in the picture very much -- the one you're waiting for must be really special!

It's gorgeous! Love your choice and the buttons.
Welcome to the Club! I should mention their fibers are very addictive in every single way, drape, feel, look. I can't wait to knit more with it!

beautiful!it looks like it might have a bit of swing, a bit of weight to it when it's worn?
