Not good

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)

Progress

I’m still going… well, semi-strong. I try to pick it up every day and the color changes keep it interesting.

I would have preferred to do it without the blue, but I also want this top to cover my stomach and without the blue I was certain it wouldn’t. With the blue I’m about 75% sure I will have enough, so fingers crossed. I’m to old for the cropped top look.
