WIP Wednesday

One sock down, one to go on my nice, basic, pink-and-green socks. No pictures, though- I want to save pictures of the completed sock for when I finish them both.

I’ve decided to add a bit more shaping to the Celebrity Tank. The tank is really cute, but my body shape requires a garment to have a bit more shaping in order to be flattering. I’ve finished the decrease section; now I just need to try it on and, if it’s fitting property, work even for an inch, and then do some increases. I’m taking copious notes on how I’m modifying this pattern so that I can put it in my project notes on Ravelry, where hopefully someone else will find it useful.

In other news, I think I may have lost my mind. The KnitCircus Ravelry group is doing a Knit-A-Long for Fannette from the KnitCircus Summer 2011 issue. Because I don’t already have enough projects on the needles (ha ha), and I love a good KAL, and because I did already have the shawl in my queue, I have decided to participate. Anyone else want to join too?

I cast on for in Malabrigo Fingering in Velvet Grapes.


This is part of Tami's Amis' WIP Wednesdays. Head on over and see what everyone else is working on!

  2. While I don't plan to make the tank, I am always appreciative folks that make copious notes on their project pages. I check out that kind of thing before I start almost any garment. I find it saves a lot of tears on my part.

  4. I wish I could, but I'm already in a knit along that I'm not doing as much for as I would like to be. :)
