She was a lot of fun to knit and I can't wait for warmer weather and an appropriate occasion at which to wear her. What that is I have no idea, I'll have to manufacture something. =)
Now that Charlotte is done, I can move on to Clapotis. I have finished all the increases, and am almost at the part where I get to drop some stitches! Very exciting. I don't have a recent photo, but here's something to give you an idea of how the Malabrigo knits up. What the picture doesn't convey is just how soft and yummy this yarn is.
I've also discovered something about this yarn. Malabrigo yarns, the eBay seller sanfelipeysantiago, and handpaintedyarn.com all appear to be the exact same thing in slightly different incarnations. I am very tempted to buy more yarn from handpaintedyarn.com for another Clapotis simply because their prices are so good. Must....resist....soft....yarn....

Yay!!! Charlotte looks absolutely amazing! Makes me want to knit one too ^__^ But I already have too many projects on the brain and not enough time to do them in. And you know what? You can always make going to the lab an occasion to wear it! (tee hee)
That Malabrigo looks amazing! Dropping stitches, eh? Exciting and a little scary at the same time...well, for me it is anyway ^__^
Sorry...I have another question ^__^ Did you buy the pattern for Charlotte, or is it available on the web somewhere?
Tee hee, thanks! I'll have to think about wearing her to lab though, with my luck I'd probably accidentally bleach her or something like that. =P
I did buy the Charlotte pattern; I can't remember who I bought it from though, most online yarn retailers seem to price it at about $5 or so.
