I’m moving slowly on this TTTKAL project. The knit along is supposed to end on the 27th and I’m woefully behind. The weekends have been packed with fun family time that doesn’t allow for knitting, and some of my evening downtime is spent trying to get Fitbit steps like a madwoman to fight more sternly with the post-baby pudge that’s so very settled on my bones at this minute. The pattern is Talavera and it’s lovely. I’m going a bit off the cuff after the armholes. I ignored (by accident) an increase that was there and elected to just cast on enough stitches on each side for one lace repeat to give this a bit more of a sleeve. I’m also considering scrapping the funnel neck in favor of something that will be slightly more open and hot-weather friendly. It’s a work in progress. Luckily the back and front are mirrored right now so I can turn this into either the front or back if inspiration strikes and I suddenly need a deep scoop neck. The temperatures here are climbing, then falling, then climbing again. I guess I’m in no real rush to finish this, but I like to have projects to write about so I’ll probably get distracted by something else again soon. What about turning this into a halter top?
Just kidding.
A stunning piece of knitting. Makes me want to head down to the woolshop and get started. I have so many other things on the go at the moment though.
wow, gorgeous!
Stunning knitting!
That is a beautiful top. You’ve made a thing of beauty there!
The FitBit is a stern taskmaster! Be kind to yourself 🙂
That is beautiful, Cassie!!
I love the color and the pattern. I also love how you’re able to make up your own pattern.
Gorgeous knitting. I love that lace pattern. Look forward to seeing the finished project.
Quite impressed you’ve gotten as far as you have. I’ve taken to walking in the evenings while knitting a sock. Slower pace but at least I can (futilely) tackle pudge AND knit after kid is sleeping. Thank goodness for longer daylight hours. Otherwise I would just be screwed.
