Streamertail

I saw a picture of this Louisa Harding design, Streamertail, when browsing in one of the UK magazines, and I had to have it. The colours are really me, and I like vertical knitting. Since the design is quite simple, normally I would have made it from just looking at the picture ... but I wanted this to be completely exact, so I got the pattern book, "Hummingbirds" ... rather pricey but has a couple of other patterns of interest and I'm enjoying looking through it. Louisa Harding uses a ribbon yarn. I had some Paton's Katrina in those colours in my stash. Back (or front, they're the same) was done in 9 days, so will probably be ready to wear by the end of September.
