Reunion was amazing! To paraphrase my friend Chris, heaven is a Kenyon dance party. (In the case of this weekend, a 6 hour dance marathon!) It's so renewing to see old friends, and it's even more special when you get to see them in the place where you first formed your bonds.
When we got home, I felt the need to tidy up a bit, and that's when I pulled this Petrie out of my knitting basket and decided to finally sew up all the hems. It's a great pattern - simple, elegant, and well written. And flattering to the bust and waist in a way that many knitting patterns aren't! (Look how amazing it looks on all these different knitters!)
This is the first time I have knit anything with a hem, and I really like the weight it gave the fabric and the way it helped the neckline drape nicely. I used 6 (I think?) skeins of Berroco Mica from Webs. And made the second size. I could definitely see myself knitting another of these. And I'm also motived to fish out a few more of the UFOs floating around this house. Who knows, maybe they'll all turn out this well!
