updates on my "RED KITE"

The project Red Kite is now finished [finally!].I finished it last October and totally liked the result.

Project Details:
Pattern name: KITE
Book: Rowan The Story of Little Knits
Materials:
Yarn: Neveda Athleta
Needle: 3.5mm and 4.00mm
1/4" satin ribbon

This project gave me a bit of hard time, first I used a different yarn, much thinner yarn hence using smaller needles, so that would mean different gauge, so I need to improvise...
All while I thought that everything is doing well when I finished both sleeves and found out that the arm hole doesn't fit with the armhole on the body part! [mentioned to my previous blog entry].

There were 3 more visit to frog pond after the first one, and finally able to get at least the correct number of stitches need, I seek the help of different knitting venues like the Knitting Daily forum, friends from my multiply and software I seldom use, which turns out, quite helpful, will talk more about the software on upcoming knitting adventures.

So frustrated on ripping the sleeves for nth time, and I didn't want to tackle it anymore afraid that it might not fit the body again, I did some small projects and here are my FOs...
