I present to you a ufo that I have brought with me to finish on my studies abroad.
To be honest I haven’t gotten very far on it. I accept this.
I also accept that I probably won’t finish it before returning home. That doesn’t mean I can’t hope.
This is what it will end up being, in the far future.
The pattern is Raeanne Shawl Sweater from the wonderful book Blueprint Crochet by Robyn Chachula, and is created by making small modular squares, and crocheting them into the main structure as it is worked.
I got this lovely yarn for free, and the marking on the inside says: astro dyed spotted flake.
To me, its a great yarn because it almost gives the illusion of an animal print when used together, and the yarn itself has a very interesting texture.
Isn’t free yarn great?
So what I’ve been working on so far, and what the picture above is of, is the base, and I’m only about 1/4 done with that section. Then I need to make the cowl structure, and the end of the project lies in the creation of the waistband, which holds the cowl together, and created the faux wrap shape. Then weaving in ends.
My plans for the next few months, knowing that I can almost not finish (though that would be ideal), is to finish the square work on the base and the cowl. Because I also have no method of blocking the piece, it would make sense to only get that far anyway, so the piece can be blocked before finishing.
Maybe now I’ll actually get some good work done on it!
Hi where did you get this yarn from?
I was given the chance to go through a weaving company’s castoffs about 7 years ago, and that’s where it came from. The roll itself didn’t have any information on the inside. Sorry I can’t be of more help!
