Pineapple!

[atherleisure]

I finished knitting the pineapple last night. It's drying now.



I cut the gold section and the green section each short by one pattern repeat, which gives two rows of points. I felt that the bag was getting too long for the leaves and that I mostly wanted the green at the bottom to be the bottom of the bag. In retrospect, I probably could have shortened the green even further, but it's not bad as it is.

The yellow/gold section is 4" long, and the bag is about 3.25" in diameter. The circumference is about 11.5", measuring loosely around the points.

Now I need to line it and make drawstrings and put little ribbon bits on the bottom. So close!

Thanks. Six months is so long...I'm ready for the next project, or really finishing off an old project.
