No Fear Shakespeare: Nymphadora
Another design by Kessanlin. I love this fun, clever construction. The yarn isn't perfect (relating to gauge) but it's best I can in a rush.
Most disappointing is the shortage of yarn! This is one of my few pet peeves: Less weight/yardage than labeled. 9 hanks/50g each, I should have 450 grams in all. Yet, I started out 384 grams with 10 grams left in the last hank. This is the worst amount of shortage I’ve ever had--66 grams--a whole hank plus shortage!!!! I have a couple more of Louise Hardings yarn in my stash, after that, I vow never to buy yarn from this company again! Companies like Stonehedge Fiber Mill would sell this at 30% discount as “irregular.” Nuff said.
The top is pressed to shape with steam iron over cotton towel. Tacked down front to overlap as designed with matching silk thread and tighten linen-stitch shoulders to 1.75" from 2.25". Very happy with the outcome..www.handstitch.wordpress.com
