Cheater Audrey
With an upcoming trip to Savannah and Denver temps holding in the 90s, I truncated Audrey and left her limbless. (As much as I adore Calmer, I worried that the acrylic content would exascerbate my summer persperation issues. And we wouldn't want that, would we?)
It seemed such a shame to wait until fall to wear the poor girl; she's been so cramped in that knitting bag. And once I realized (after two frogs, three seaming sessions and a nice chilled European rose) that the lace-as-written extends over sleeve caps--and I had no sleeve caps--Audrey sans Sleeves became much better behaved.
Come "Get Nake-id" at my new site...www.nakeidknits.com. Ciao.
I love the cheater Audrey. I've thought this was a great idea from the start!
