Halfway

Hopefully, she’ll stop complaining now.

img_2911 Oh, and I said I was concerned about the amount of yarn left in the skein?

This was all that was left.

Technically, there should have been one more plain row of knitting at the very end, but, well, I opted to skip that . . . and, really, I’m quite comfortable with that decision! Sure it might make a tiny difference on the way the edging looks, but, um . . . really, I feel I made the right call. Don’t you?

As I say, I’ll block her tomorrow, so we’ll all get a better look at her beauty. Which, being a diva, I’m sure she’ll appreciate–Adoration is never a bad thing to a diva, right? Frankly, I’m a little concerned she’ll be upset I showed her “without being finished,” as it were. That’s like showing a movie star without her makeup, but then, she’s not shy . . . Anyway, right now she’s resting.

And then, after blocking Miss Peacock Diva Part One, I’ll start in on the second half. Hopefully, she’ll be a little more mellow than her “twin,” huh?

    Oh, the Diva is really beautiful. She deserves to be a little diva-ish, I think. :)

    Woo … that’s lovely (even before blocking)! I know how it feels wondering if you have enough yarn to finish! Painful!

    Gorgeous!!!

    I would have been a wreck worrying about the yarn!

    That looks just gorgeous!
    In my imaginary fantasy perfect world, you would never run out of yarn for a project.

    That looks really beautiful. The colour complements the pattern so well. Good call on missing out the last knit row.

    Yikes, that really is cutting it close!
