inspired by all the lovely FOs at the KAL and some prodding from yahaira, i finally picked up my angelica afer a month's absence (damn university) and finished it.
the specs:
pattern - angelica by stef japel, available at hipknits
yarn - noro cash iroha, 5.5 balls
needles - 5.5mm 16" circular
knitting time - 27th dec to 6th feb, but i didn't do anything all through january!
mods - changed the hip increases to a decorative YO triangle; echoed this on the sleeves to make them flared; lengthened body and sleeves; omitted neck edging
comments - cash iroha is a gorgeous yarn to work with and wear and i'll definitely be using it again. i like the drapey fabric it made using slightly larger needles. i'm glad i made the mods i did because it fits perfectly and has some added interest, and i like how the neck looks worn open so i decided to omit the neck edging so i can wear it either way. oh, and i still need a button!
