Pattern: Coraline by Ysolda
Yarn: 7.5 skein Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool
Needles: US 5 circular needle
Started: June 1, 2010
Finished: August 6, 2010
Adjustments: The pattern calls for knitting the length to a certain numbers of rows. I found that my row gauge was quite different then what is called for in the pattern. I added 40 rows to accommodate the difference. Very happy with the results.
I had intended on having 5 buttons, but when I found these they really looked better with just 3. It would have been to overcrowded if I put them all on. The process of making button loops using embroidery floss was a new technique for me.

Your Coraline is really, really nice! I would never have thought of using Silky Wool. Hmmm...I do have some in my stash...
Kris, it turned out georgeous! Well worth the time it took to do those fancy stitches! I love it!
Wow! I purchased that pattern on Ysolda's birthday and seeing yours has inspired me to make one of my own soon.
Fantasic job!
