Queen Guenevere

Two posts in two days- this must be some kind of record. But you have to take things as they happen.

Guinevere is finished!

I was looking back in my files, and the yarn was purchased on September 9 of last year. I putzed with the colors (I knew what colors I wanted) and fine tuned the swatches. As I said yesterday, I had alot of doubts along the way. It's sort of like when you read a book, and it's kind of peeving you off- but you decide that you've come this far, you might as well finish, and it turns out to be a great story. Here's my happy ending:Thanks to Ginger- who has sobered up enough to oblige us- due to "AA for Dummies"- she has remained somewhat sober and vertical.
A jaunty tassel!Horn toggle closures.
The sizing turns out to be determined by the gauge, so we have 42" and 45"- this is meant to be worn over top of other clothes, so is a loose fit. There is slight shaping at the armholes, but other than that, not even the sleeves are shaped. There is 3-needle I-Cord at the shoulder and along the hood. The you pick up the sleeve stitches and add applied I-Cord. This was alot of fun.
The motifs are slightly larger than I normally use, due to the scale of the garment.

The pattern is written, and Brigitte has graciously consented to be my model- so Thunderbirds are go.
Here's what is left of my brain. Good thing the math was done before this, huh?
