Pattern: Spiralucious
Yarn: Opulence ~ Robin's Nest
Needles: US size 3 (16 inch Addi's)
Modification: Extra repeat on second chart
As much as I love Poinsettia, I think I like this pattern even more. There is a little more room in the neck area to throw over a sweater under a jacket.....and I LOVE the dainty little lace edging. So Victorian!
Stacey loves it enough to want one for herself in Sugar Plum (definitely a pink kind of grrl)...and I am going to do one for myself in some sort of teal color with matching mitts.
Whew..........birthday hat...check! GF gift.....check! Now if I could tell you that I got all of my Christmas cards out.....my name would be Pinocchio. ;)
I love this neck warmer - made one for Christmas in dark plum - cannot wait to give it - it is gorgeous on your beautiful daughter!!! Merry Christmas - jill

Relax! A very Merry Christmas to your whole family.

It's just lovely modeling! She looks a lot like Stella McCartney at that angle. :)

This is gorgeous - and I can't wait to see the mitts. I just finished a Poinsettia in your Opulence Neptune - love! I may not be able to pry it out of my hands to give it away:)

Kim- It's lovely, and I adore the color.
I sent not one card out this year or last, not that I'm proud of it, but I guess life goes on.

It looks lovely. Never mind about the cards, can't do everything. Have a blessed Christmas.

A very Merry Christmas wish to you and yours!
