Knit In Progress #2 (I’m going to start numbering my knit projects. This would be the 2nd one for this year.)
Noro Smock (generally known as Design 10, Noro Flowers Book 4, Jenny Watson Designs)
Noro Chirimen 6A, Cotton Silk, Wool Blend
Size 6 Needle
Start Date: March 16, 2009, Monday
Target Finish Date: April 5, 2009, Sunday
Completion Date: April 8th, Wednesday
Special Notes: This is a birthday gift to myself. Birthday is on April 10.
KIP NOTES:
-
I’m going to start numbering knit projects for easy reference.
-
Once project is completed, I will update the original post. Updates will then be linked/referenced FROM a new post.
-
In addition, I have included a target finish time because I find that having a goal makes me work my b*tt off instead of being flaky and wishy-washy about completion time. Having a deadline stops me from being lazy.
-
Any special notes or MODifications to project will be noted too on the original post, but will not be mentioned until the project is completed.
Completion Notes: 4/17/09, Friday
Smock took a few days longer to complete, and blocking took another 3 days. Finished size, even with blocking, came up slightly bigger than I anticipated. A few washings in warm water might, hopefully, shrink it.
Overall, I love, love it. I wore it to work Wednesday night to show off to my co-worker, who has been seeing the progression of the project to completion. Unfortunately, she called in sick. However, a friend from another department saw it and immediately thought it was hand-made and super-gorgeous. That made my day! Flattery always get me! hahaha!
Here’s a photo (as always, a bit fuzzy) of the FO.
