Pretty Thing has been finished for quite a while. I've had pictures for quite a while. I was unsure how I felt about Pretty Thing for quite a while.

Blocking, she is really quite pretty. And it is cashmere, so she is incredibly soft. It is the wearing part that was bothering me. I envisioned wearing it like this:






I was barely able to snap that photo before Pretty Thing returned to her desired position:






The entire time I was knitting Pretty Thing, I imagined it sitting elongated on my neck (maybe a little scrunchy), but showing off all the painstaking lacy bits. But no, she folds over, won't stay up. Well, at least won't stay up unless I do something unspeakable that kills her lovely cashmere softness.



So I wore Pretty Thing a few times before blogging her finished state because I wanted to give her a fair chance before I lit her on fire and pretended that she never existed. But you know what, she grew on me. I liked the bit of extra warmth she provided. I liked the softness. I knew how pretty she was, but I couldn't see her, so I could imagine her showing off her lacy bits proudly even though logically I knew she was folded over. So Pretty Thing is indeed pretty and lovely and maybe if I'm crazy, I'll make another one.
