Flared Lace Smoke Ring

January 7, 2009 By Carole

The post titles have been so original this week, haven’t they? I guess I just don’t have any clever and witty titles to go with these finished knits. Nevertheless, we complete the Hannah Trifecta today by showing her modeling the Flared Lace Smoke Ring.

I’ve had this pattern in my queue for years but just never got around to knitting it.  Then one day a few weeks ago I was in Saftler’s and I spied some Plymouth Earth Ecco Cashmere.  It was super soft (Hello, Cashmere) and reasonably priced and this pattern instantly popped into my head.  I knew it would be a perfect combination and I was right.

I love the natural color.

I love that it can be worn softly around the neck or pulled up over the head for extra warmth.

I love the girl modeling it for me, too, but you already know that. She’s cute and charming and smart and funny. She’s a good friend and a great daughter. And despite her complaints about the cold, well, she loves to act and model. In fact, here she is channeling her inner 50s movie star.

The drama overfloweth.

    Beautiful knit, and perfect for cashmere. Yes, the glasses make Hannah into….Audrey? Greta?

    She looks fabulous in that look. The cowl looks warm and cozy, too!

    complaining about the cold was part of the fun, and the drama, no?
    another beauty!

    I am definitely digging the 50s film star look. Perhaps I will make one for myself. 🙂

  7. Leslie says

    January 7, 2009 at 9:29 am

    Yes, a movie star in the making. The glasses are the perfect finishing touch.

    January 7, 2009 at 10:31 am

    Oh – I didnd’t know you could wear it like that?? Now – now I’m interested!! Hannah reminds me so much of how I’m dreaming Kathryn will be in a few years. *hoping*

    You’ve still got that poor kid out in the cold modeling handknits?! (Kidding….beautiful smoke ring, beautiful girl, even with that blue tinge to her skin.)

  14. Carol says

    January 7, 2009 at 11:07 am

    Adorable! Both of them! I love the smoke ring pattern too. There must be something appropriate in the stash for that…

  20. Doris says

    January 7, 2009 at 1:34 pm

  23. Cookie says

    January 7, 2009 at 3:39 pm

    How long was that child outside without a coat? No wonder she got whiny. *L*

    Another beautiful project! That pattern is on my list, too. Maybe it’s time to go hunting for yarn now that I’ve seen how lovely yours is.

  24. Susan says

    January 7, 2009 at 3:58 pm

    Beautiful! Wait, oh..the project was nifty, too! lol

  25. Beth says

  37. Birdsong says

    January 8, 2009 at 8:02 pm

    Absolutely gorgeous… I gotta feel for Hannah though, her nose looks red in one of those. I know it’s much colder there at your house than at mine.

  38. Teyani says

    January 9, 2009 at 12:31 pm

    wow. Love it! great pattern, and such a divine use for cashmere. I’ll bet that it is divine around your neck.
    love that last photo of Hannah – and I bet that you could totally pull off the 50’s glam too!

    Happy New Year to you and your family! The last three featured knits (red, white, and blue, incidentally) are all gorgeous, as is your model daughter :).
