Anice's debut

Once again, Rene Dickey of knitsfinished.com has performed her magic on my knitting. Cyaniceback

Anice arrived day before yesterday, all washed, blocked, ends woven in and transgressions repaired.  I spent yesterday hauling her out onto the counter every time some one I knew came into the shop.  Here she is, on Connie (who could make a trash bag look like haute couture).  Color me proud!  ----Martie

Bennie: good suggestion, but I fear this is as good as it gets...in my next life, I want to have time to read the camera's instruction book and be a better photographer! :0)

Oh Martie, it's beyond beautiful - I got goosebumps looking at it :-)

Bonnie said...

I'm probably more surprised that you are. And sliding closer to spinning every day... I can feel the pull.

Martie said...

Thanks, Mandie!

Oh Martie....FAB-U-LOUS!! How wonderful to see it finished and blocked and know that your heart and soul went into every stitch. You must be very proud. Good Job, Girl!

Martie said...

Thanks, Ruthie! The advice from all of you really got me on track...or it might not have had such a good ending. :0)

Martie...Your work is exquisite and the stole perfect for a bride. This is one of the most beautiful stole patterns I have seen! Now, where to find it? I keep going back and looking again and again at the pictures. Kristin

Kristin...thanks for the kind words. It's in Rowan Magazine #41...if you decide to go for it, I'm happy to share all I learned along my journey!

Martie -
I'm a little late in commenting because I've been on a lace odyssey of my own, but I had to say congratulations. It's a beauty!
