This is a really difficult shell to photograph. Neither picture reflects the true color of this shell. The texture is subtle, but stands out much more in person than is shown in my pictures. I used a US 9 circular needle and knit it in the round until the arm holes.
The yarn is Malabrigo Worsted in Cuarzo which is a beautiful variegated purple. The pattern is part Barbara Walker stitch pattern, part Ann Budd’s Handy Book of Patterns, and part slapdash from my brain.
This is yet another State Fair project. I have one week left until my entries are due and three projects that I signed up for that I haven’t completed yet. I think I can finish one more before the deadline.
Pretty purple! Good luck with your entries!
Very cool! Love the color!
It looks great. The yarn colour is absolutely gorgeous.
Marissa is lovely!
You amaze me with how quickly you crank out the FO’s; do you knit in your sleep?
It’s beautiful, but mother of god, so hot.
Purple IS hard to capture, isn’t it? Wonder why?
Its beautiful. I love the colour.
