The Long Awaited Bohemian Tunic


Blocking the Bohemian Tunic on the guest bed.  The alpaca yarn was so incredibly wonderful to work with.  
Not the best picture of me or of the tunic, but you get the idea
I have to lose some weight, definitely not photographing well these days.  I didn't block the arms quite long enough, but there is a lot of stretch in them, so next time I was it I will do a better job of measuring the arms when I lay it out to dry.
I wore the tunic to work and then to knitting, tried to get some better pictures of it.  This one without flash helps to show how deep the color really is.  I love the heathered color.  Ember was a perfect name for this color.

The pattern was super simple to follow, ragland sleeves are now my absolute favoritest kind of sleeves.  I hate sewing, so I love that this whole tunic is made in the round and the only seems are a few under arm stitches.  Once I got back to work on it after its one year stint in hibernation the whole thing went really fast.  I would definitely recommend this pattern to anyone looking for something a little different but still pretty easy.  

Sorry it took me so long to blog on this!  I know some of you have been wondering about it since I bought the pattern and yarn about 3 years ago.  Sheesh, has it really been that long?!?  Wowzers.

GIVEAWAY!!!

As many of you know, I love working with hand dyed yarn.  I especially love Farm Girl Fiber yarn!  Bridgette has an eye for color and has a lot of fun with what she does.  That is why I am so super thrilled that Farm Girl Fiber is sponsoring this giveaway in honor of my opening an etsy shop!   Before the goods, a recap:  I made this Acorn Head hooded cowl for myself on Christmas this year.  I've known pretty much since I bought the yarn exactly what it was going to be, I just had to find time to do it.  This cowl was out of my FGF birthday yarn!  You can't tell in the picture, but it has just this hind of sparkle to it.  Love! I made 2 of these for two different swaps and I really wish I had made and kept one for myself while she still had the yarn!  It was so super soft and super bulky and fantastic!  Sometimes Farm Girl Fiber has very limited lots of things, so if you find something you love, you really need to snatch it up. ...
