Copper Christina


Pattern: Christina by Kim Hargreaves from Whisper
Yarn: Madame Tricote Camilla, 100% mercerized cotton
Needle: 2.5 mm edge, 3 mm
Time to knit: 12 days
Mods: actually, this is the s-size stitches and rows of Joy, combined with the texture and
decreases and increases of Christina, knit seamlessly and to fit my small stature.


I know, this happens to me quite often after I've just finished a project, but I regard Christina as the best thing I've ever knitted :) The design is gorgeous and in my favourite style, the yarn, with its silk sheen and twisted thread, is the perfect cotton for textured cardigans, the color is a luxurious hue of copper orange/brown, though it looks somewhat brighter in the pictures. I love it!
