Double Amaryllis

Double Amaryllis

It's finally finished! I started it sometime last year? Or maybe it was earlier this year? It sat on haitus over the summer because I couldn't find some wire. Then I did find the wire and it still continued to sit. I decided to clear through some WIPs last week and this was on the top of the list because I knew how close I was to finishing. Of course, there was more search for wire (when I found it the first time, I stuck it in the box with everything else), then search for some 24 gauge green wire, and finally, search for my hack saw. This is what happens when I step away from this stuff for a while. But it's done! It's exciting!

I still have 1 more amaryllis bulb. The goal is to go for a total of 3 potted plants. It's crazy, I know!

WIP Wednesday - a day late

I dug out my amaryllis in progress and kept working. I finally found the wire I needed to complete the centers. All that's left is the greenery. Here are all of the flower parts

Wingspan

Wingspan

Something knitted and finished! This is Wingspan! The yarn is Kauni and this is all knit on size 4 needles. Kauni is known for their long color changes. I was easily fascinated watching the yarn change color as I knit this. I went beyond the number of triangles the pattern called for and just kept going until I was almost out of yarn. I think I may have actually knit double the number of triangles the pattern called for.
