It's hard to believe that a lumpy, soggy pile of thread can be blocked out into the beautiful Lyra. Gretchen McKinsey-Clarke, whose Lyra has been featured previously on this blog, contributed these pictures of her completed Lyra. What a joy to see it go from the above photo to the beautifully-dressed Lyra in the next two photos. I had asked for reflections on knitting her Lyra, and Gretchen provided excellent responses, which are available below.
