This post is about the miracle of "before" and "after." Here we see my "Meret" (Mystery Beret from Woolywormhead's Ravelry KAL) finished but before blocking.
Now we see the Meret blocked and beautiful.
A second type of before and after depends on your angle of view. I'm teaching an Illusion Knitting class at the Guild in January, so I thought I'd better make a sample so people will see what they're signing up for. We're going to make knitted dishcloths with illusion designs. They'll be able to choose between a heart (pictured here) or a snowflake. If you look at the cloth straight on, you see nothing but lines of red and white.
At an angle, however, the heart picture pops miraculously out at you.
Last, we just have an after. Here is a picture of the first small skein of pure angora from Genevieve. I expect her wool will get a little lighter as she grows older -- she's just turned 6 mos. old. The wool we harvested from her was definitely her junior wool.

Penny, I think you will be delighted to find that Genevieve's wool will darken as she grows up. Normally, the baby wool on SAs is light colored, and their adult coat comes in rich and deep.
Awesome knitting as usual Penny. Love the beret.
