The last work completed in 2008, was the hooded cape-Balsam a boss Ilga Leja . I had spotted it, because I liked the slightly Inuit it gives to the wearer. And then I recovered from the maternal stock of 3 balls Mohair King Georges Picaud a beautiful raspberry color, that fits perfectly question film and sample.
The owner is very detailed and well explained, at least as increases. There, it just says "continue the pattern as previously," this is a bit light which, as the number mesh (and ranks) will change to repeat each increase. A knitter with some experience extrapolate easily, but a beginner is likely to crash if it follows the indication at the foot of the letter.
Besides this small detail, this model is very easy to knit. Yet, I struggled to finish: he almost kill my boredom "knitting mojo as they say across the Atlantic.
must say that i had to take 4 times (3 times and thus unravel the mesh folded mohair, which foot!) Before obtaining a satisfactory edge. If it does not tighten enough, we get a trailer and ruffled edge. If you tighten too much, you can no longer put around the shoulders. A real headache!
Besides, if I re-knitting a Balsam, I start from the bottom, which will have the added advantage of replacing the increase by reducing and optimizing the use of wool if available a small film. Me, I recommended and the footage I had some leftovers so I lengthened the pilgrim party (8 or 12 rows, I forget).
However, very light and very warm, soft mohair enough to be worn in contact with the neck and face, the result has pleased its recipient, even if the board trailer Always a bit. So mission accomplished.
