Off Center Argyle: finished!



I recently completed "Off Center Argyle" from Wrap Style, it was very fun to knit and I hope to actually wear it; if only to walk the dogs or run to the store. The colors (and texture) didn't photograph as well as I'd hoped. The colors blend together in a much more subtle and harmonious way, in person.

Pattern: Off Center Argyle from "Wrap Style"
Needle: US size 7
Yarn: Ella Rae Classic

More details and my notes about the project are available on my Minnie knits blog!

Off Center Argyle Finished


I finished my Off-Center Argyle Sunday night! It took me about two weeks, (while working on a couple of other projects) which is pretty fast for me. I love the colors and fit :) The only modification I made was to the collar and it was for gauge issues with the brown yarn. More details on my blog.

Off Center Argyle


I am so excited to finally start this one! I've had the yarn for a couple of months now, but was trying to finish a couple of other things first. I finally caved in on Sunday and cast on for Teva Durham's Off Center Argyle from Wrap Style. Instead of olive green, burgundy, and orange as shown in the book, I am knitting mine in two shades of teal, a deep purple, and a very dark brown. This was my progress by Monday evening - I can't put it down! I have a feeling this one isn't going to be on the needles for long :)
There are a few more details on my blog if you're interested.
