Curtains that make me proud


I espeically like this one as it shows the texture of this yarn very well...a bit shinny.

Although I'm supposed to be working really hard on my desk to prepare for the exam tomorrow, I can't wait to see how it looks like when the curtains were hung. So after I finished a first draft of a paper outline, I ran out to IKEA and got some curtain rod and rings.

I was amazed by how nice they look...the way how the sun shines through the laces...definitely one of my proudiest knitting product ever.

Hans' kitchen looks so boring. I always want to have more decorations for the poor windows. Although I never underestimate the work that required in knitting a set of curtain, I still overwhelmed by the amount of stitches I need to put into these curtain. But hey, it's going to make the windows pretty for long time. Here's just the part I for the mega project of III (or even IV) set of curtains for the kitchen and living room. I'm going to make (hope it's not false promises) another identical set in red for the other side of the window.

They are still in the process of blocking, picture of final 'on the show' status will be posted later.

One more note, the cotton yarn I used for these curtains were purchased from a garage sales on our street. The lady sold us a bunch of cotton yarn (around 40-45 skeines/hank) for all the cash we had in our pocket (just $17) -- I love gargage sales.

The pattern for this curtain is from the Interwave Knit, Holiday 2008.
