Scream

I think the neverending shawl is getting to me a bit. It’s fun, don’t get me wrong. But still…

 

Halter top

Well, this is the first remotely wearable warm weather garment I have created (I made up the pattern as I went along). I’ve made one other attempt at the halter top.

How did it turn out, you ask? Well, it depends. Do you like Geometric Shapes Tastelessly fully Stitches in Acrylic Across One’s Belly?

Remind me to tell you about that one sometime.

Anyway, the purple top was knitted in a nylon/cotton blend, varigated shiney blue and opaque purple. I like the pooling, to be honest. However, this thing is Flawed.
1. The back is supposed to go up to my shoulder blades. It sags.
2. The laces up the sides are uneve.
3. It’s a bit short. Not enought to be a belly shirt, but definately not long.

On the plus side, it’s full of summery promise, if not in the design, in the yarn.

 

Hey, all you tech-loving, knitting hipsters!

(“Hipster” being the approved term used by the people who want to sell things to people with a fashion sense)

Don’t you wish you could carry knitting with you, just like you can with your fancy gadgets?

Well, has Lion Brand got a special suprise for you!
