The teachers did a great job! We had a hectic, but very fun 45 minutes with 17 well behaved, polite grade school ladies. There was a lot of knitting progress made. The best part is that we still have 3 more sessions to really get down to business!
Now that Girasole is completed I can really focus on Sebright. I am working on the front pockets, which I have never done before. It is so fun learning new techniques!
I was able to take some finished photos of Girasole – sorry if you are sick of seeing it, but I have never been so excited about a project before :)




I asked because I wanted to know for sure and Kara told me that smiling picture was taken after the class, so it looks like it was a success!!
Your border blocked out beautifully! And that colour, it’s to die for. I knit a Girasole as a wedding gift for a friend a few years ago, it was such a rewarding project because it’s just so awesome! I think I need to knit another for myself… seeing your gorgeous version is really inspiring!
I was hoping you’d post some photos of Girasole after blocking– love it! Looks like the class was a success!
Aly and Cara,
Looks like the class was at Aly’s school. What a great idea!
