Lelah finished!

Posted by on August 26, 2005 3 comments

Well I finished a couple weeks ago, just getting up the pics. I really enjoyed this pattern. Nice lace pattern, yet simple enough to memorize easy. V. convenient that, as I took it on many a plane trip and I hate needing a chart in such confined spaces. Still want to find another ribbon, probably in white. This one was just laying around. Now without further ado- the pics…


Ignore the top part flipped over :P Didn’t notice it.

And the details…
Yarn: Caron simply soft in Papaya, about 2 1/2 skiens. Yeay for tops under $5!
Pattern: The famous Lelah, by HelenaJane of Craftster
Size: Followed the pattern for M
Needles: Denise 9 and 10 1/2
Modifications: I added a purl turning ridge for the hem and then when I bound off- I picked up the stitch from below and ktog with the stitch on the needle. Then bound of these stitches the normal way. So I just knitted the elastic band into it. Anytime not having to thread a needle and sew is a good day for me! I’ll post a photo of the bound off edge if I get a chance.

I’ve been working on the lovely Lelah pattern pretty much exclusively. I don’t want to put it down, it’s such a fun pattern. It’s aaaalmost there, just need to do the turning row and sew in the elastic.

Here she is lounging by the window. More photos to come soon.

Just had to post this…
