It Came From The Seventies....
Yup, El's done. I'm not quite sure about her.
I feel like I'm channeling either Braveheart or your frizzy-haired, kooktastic art teacher from high school who also ran Drama Club.
One thing I'm quite happy with: I just did tassels at the ends as opposed to the knotted fringe.
Oh, and another thing: one finished project, three new skills! With Lady Eleanor, I learned entrelac, knitting backwards and crochet. Huzzah!
Specs:
Pattern: Lady Eleanor, by Kathleen Powers Johnson, form Scarf Style
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden; 10 skeins 82; 3 skeins 86
Needles: Size 9 Lantern Moon straights
Started: January 10, 2006
Finished: February 7, 2006

I think it looks great, as well as warm and functional. The perfect wrap for a cold office or classroom.
It really does look great. I love the colors and it only slightly reminds me of Mrs. Weeks, the director of our Drama Club.
(I, too, am trying to avoid the kook look).
Channel Braveheart. It had sexy men in kilts.
Really? I think she looks great. And definitely functional, as Sydney says. I hope she grows on you.
Not literally.
Gorgeous! But I probably wouldn't wear her around town either, though I might keep her at the office. I have a wrap like that but I never planned on wearing it as a wrap; it's across the foot of my bed currently and really helps keep our feet warm at night. I do wear my Clapotis and Ene's Scarf regularly, and I have to say I'm tempted to buy a bunch of Silk Garden for *something*...
I think Lady E looks fabulous! Very "bohemian chic." And all that entrelac sure is impressive.
Are you kidding? She's beautiful! Very lovely - and your Gap story made me howl!
I've been looking like a low-rent elf in my aviator cap lately.
However, that is one beautiful piece of work - I am in awe of your mad entrelacing, backwards-knitting, crochet skills. And all the Noro.
Don't sweat the undergrad student comment - at that age I thought funneling and platform shoes were a good idea.
Oh.. I had a teacher like that, too. No, actually she used to wear a 'carpet'poncho. Seriously: Congratulation on this one! I'm sure it will grow on you, specially once you find out how and where to wear it. But you should do.
My art teacher (whose first name was actually ART) would never wear such a delightful garment. But he sure wasn't afraid to wear a little extra something on the top of his head. It would come unstuck sometimes if he got angry at us.
I think it looks awesome - beautiful job. not a Scottish barbarian or a high school teacher in sight.
Fabulous! I love it...you need to be a knitter to love some of the things we knit! I think it is stylish...not the art/drama teacher look;)
