notes.project.mrsbeeton.01.000


okay, finally. photos of my first mrs. beetons. i actually changed the pattern a decent ammout. at first, i followed the pattern exactly, but then it was too big, so i decided to reknit them. i took out one ruffle to make it smaller. and then, since the inner ruffle was so pretty,



i decided to add beads to the outter ruffle too.



and then, i didn't like the weight of the wrist, so i knit that with just the main color. and then, since i had the left over yarn and there was contrast yarn at the bottom of the cuff, i used it to cast off too.
