The last pictures of Birch...probably.

I let Birch dry for a couple of days before unpinning her. It took 330 pins in total. Just for the record, she's knit in Rowan Kidsilk Haze in Candy Girl. I took a couple of photographs of her and promise that I won't inflict any more pictures of her on you after this.

And smile...and lean back...

A back view - it was another windy day

I'm rather proud of Birch though slightly scared to wear her as she feels as though she might just catch on a nail and r-r-r-r-rip! And I couldn't bear that...

You are sooo glam ! What a great colour on you - now you just need to persuade the husnabd to take you somewhere suitably swanky to drape it artistically round you !

Birch looks so amazing, I loved your blocking story as I would have nowhere to block something that size, you did a great job on it.

Now get out there and wear it with pride - you look stunning in her, so enjoy and bask in all those compliments heading your way....
