| Happy birthday Tera! I hope you don't mind that I tried on your gift for a post photo! |
I almost didn't write an FO post for this one because it's exactly the same as my first Citron.
But then this arrived in the mail:
These eight skeins of Malabrigo Twist must have been mailed quite promptly after I placed an order with Happy Knits a few days ago.
Over the holidays, Tera admired my Citron, so I offered to make her one exactly like it with the 2nd half of my Claudia Silk Lace.
Also over the holidays, my mother-in-law fell in love with my Emily sweater, and it even fit her perfectly, so I offered to knit another one up for her. I just thought it was funny that the first repeat knit was placed in the mail at the exact moment in which I received the yarn for the next repeat knit. It's a good thing that I like to knit!
So I thought I would pop on over to join the FO Friday list after all and share my Citron love. Despite the huge numbers of FOs on Ravelry, I haven't really seen photos that do it justice. So, if you are not one of the 6160 people who have knit a Citron already, and you were sitting on the fence about this one, I encourage you to try it. It's a pretty easy knit with beautiful results.
Happy knitting!

pretty yarn, and fo is awfully nice, too!
ReplyDeleteIt's printed out and in a bag with the yarn I picked out from my stash. Do you think if I maybe shook it up like Shake and Bake it would knit itself???
ReplyDeleteI agree that the Citron pattern is lovely. I've done it twice and I'm sure I will do it again. Love the colour you chose. It's just like raspberry sorbet.
ReplyDeleteGet me a box of that Shake and Bake....starting another Citron soon for my mom for Mom's day! The color of the Twist is very pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely citron and very pretty yarn
ReplyDeleteYour citron is beautiful! I'm contemplating starting one soon for a gift, so it's good news that you like knitting it.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Dina's comment made me snort. Just saying...
The citron looks great!!
ReplyDeleteOh man, I love that yarn. I just want to squish it.
That Citron is fabulous, the drape is just stunning, I want to sit here and stare it at for a while. (And then reach into the screen and grab it to drape around my neck!) That Malabrigo is a stunning colour, too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous Citron! If you fancy making more, I'd be more than happy to take one off your hands ; )
ReplyDeleteYour citron looks lovely! And I adore the color. :) If I got that much Malabrigo in the mail I might be tempted to hoard it...
ReplyDeleteThis Citron pattern keeps popping up on my radar recently....I resist any pattern that calls itself a shawl because I don't wear shawls except when I'm all dolled up and wearing a sleeveless dress. (And neither do my sister and mother.) But this is so tiny, and if I think of it as a scarf, like you've worn it, rather than a shawl, maybe I can get past my anti-shawlism.
ReplyDeleteYours is beautiful, by the way. The color is simply delicious.
Malabrigo Twist is my current favorite and that blue shade is GORGEOUS. I will have to go see if I have the Emily sweater in my queue (like my queue isn't embarrassingly large already). Your Citron is lovely -- what a nice gift!
ReplyDeleteLovely Citron! That is in my queue ... I'll have to get on it! The blue of that Malabrigo is awesome! Can't wait to see the sweater!
