Annie!Project: Metamorphosis sweater
Name: Annie Ham
Ravelry name: weaverannie
Blog address: http://weaverannie.blogspot.com
Yarns used: Yoke: Drops Baby Alpaca/Silk
For the rest: Lana Grossa Meilenweit Solo (With thanks to Sinaida, another group member, who sent me her left overs of this material, after knitting socks)
Dark red beads, used in the yoke only, as seen in the detail picture. Size not known.
I think I used needles 3.5 mm, but I finished knitting quite a while ago and am not sure, it’s probably in my project page on Ravelry (I hope...)
I really loved this project – thanks for all your and Jeri’s work!
Terri!Project? Metamorphosis Shawl
Your Name? Terri Lynn Randolph
Your Ravelry name? Larkspur Studio
Your blog address? http://larkspur-studio@blogspot.com
Yarn used? Wolles Yarn Creations "Mega Skein" color: Khaki,865 yards, 1 50 gram skein of the color "Leaf" using 35 grams or 168 yards for a total of 1033 yds.
Beads used? Blue Moon 6/0 Mixed Khaki/Blues/Purples Matte Finish
Needle size used? US4
Comments: Modifications: I did ten repeats of the beginning instructions and chart B.� This gave a much longer/larger shawl and evened out the Wolle's Yarn Creation's color changing yarns effect. It started with gray khaki colors and moved into light green khaki colors. I had to modify the chart in the center of the last border, but it still came out so pretty! I so happy with the marriage of the pattern and yarn, it seems they were meant to be and customized for each other!

Yarn used: Mochas Fibers BB Toes in Maine Blueberry
Beads used: Not on this one
Needle size used: US 4
Comments: I loved, loved, loved the worksheet that we used before getting started. This sweater fits TDQ perfectly and I usually don't get that when I knit for her, we run into the sleeves being too long or too short etc. Fantastically well written and charted pattern, what I have come to expect from a BadCat Designs knit! It was a pleasure to get to work with Jeri on a first time knit along and I look forward to what the two of you come up with next together and individually. Thank you for letting me play!
Moving right along, my Summer 2011 group project, Back to the Garden, is already enrolling and will begin swatching on June 21st. Details are here and everyone is welcome.!
