Although I finished this ribwarmer in June, I waited to post it until after Knitting Camp! I used J&S chunky along with croceted hairties for the ties and buttons I discovered on a vacation to Austin, TX. To finish the ribwarmer I I-Corded around all edges.
This is the nicest ribwarmer I have seen! I i-cord really makes it look polished.

ReplyDeletePeggy, Thank You!
Carla, I appreciate your comment, for sure!
Winnie, I went to Meg Swansen's Knitting Camp. Check out her website at www.schoolhousepress.com Camp is SO fantastic!
Hi Peggy: Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThe rib warmer is beautiful. I must say that the buttons add polish and style to is as well. That is a garment I would wear with pride!
I agree that the buttons add a touch of class...it looks like something from a "high-end" boutique...less rustic.
ReplyDeleteVery classy. How much yarn did it take?
ReplyDeleteTo Elysbeth -- It took 600 yards --five 120 yd. skeins. Color #64 of Jamieson and Smith 2 ply Soft-Spun, to be exact!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliments on the buttons! Sometimes it really helps just to buy buttons because they 'speak', rather than for something specific!
Gorgeous! I have a ribwarmer on the list of stuff I wanna make. :O) I think it just bumped up a bunch in the list! Yours is beautiful. I think it will be warm and comfortable to wear. Great job! samm
