Kirra

Second up in my finishing, so as to be able to knit new things, was Kirra.

Last time you'll remember that I was about 36 rows from finishing. Well, I plugged away at it and had some good uninterrupted knitting time on Friday, and so while watching 5 back to back episodes of Nip/Tuck on Netflix (I am obsessed with this show!!), I powered through the last 6 rows and bound off.

Perfect length.

Kirra will make her public debut sometime this week at school. I really like how it turned out. But I really have very little desire to knit with this yarn again. The knitting was fine, it was the weaving in of ends that was a major pain in the butt. I had to resort to knotting. I know!! Horrors!!! But the damn little ends won't hide away otherwise.

So of course I have three extra skeins of the yarn. Don't know what I'm going to do with it. The yarn has no warmth to it or structure, so a scarf or hat aren't options. Into the yarn closet it goes.

Wow! it looks great! Congratulations on finishing it, too. (6 drama-length episodes to finish 5 rows??? EEK.)

Did the public debut go well?
