Yes, that’s actually a lot of progress since last week (for my currently not-so-great knitting mojo, that is) and I was finally getting into the zone. I love when that happens. I was happily knitting along and thinking about how to finish this top, even playing around (in my mind) with some creative options. I felt like I was almost at the spot where I could part for the sleeves and I thought I had enough yarn to even be thinking about making a real tanktop (that I would actually wear) instead of just a tube with shoulderbands.
But…
That blue tanktop underneath my knitting fits me perfectly. I could do a slightly shorter version (this one is quite long), but I would loose length when the knitting stretches sideways. And it will have to do that to fit. Ahem. So I really have to make it longer.
Also:
That’s all that’s left of the blue. I was convinced I had two skeins of this, but I can’t find the second one anywhere. I’m not even sure if I can get a full stripe out of this, let alone do at least one more repeat.
Oops. Back to the drawing table…
(to be continued)
So frustrating. But better to make a garment that is wearable.
Exactly! I do like the colors, so I would love to actually be able to wear it. I’m going to figure it out, eventually.
ACK! You’ll have to put your thinking cap on. I’m knitting a sweater that doesn’t have enough yarn so I am doing the sleeves then returning to the body and figuring it out as I go along..
Yes, need to do some thnking. It’s kind of fun, but also a bit frustrating…
