FO #3
Not like I’m keeping track or anything, but I think I’ve just finished up adult garment #5 for 2010. Wow, has my knitting dropped off or what. Three of the five were either tank tops or short sleeves.
Introducing #5:
This is Prettier in Purple, a variation of Pretty in Pink on Ravelry. It’s actually not prettier in purple, but I like the alliteration. What I loved about this pattern was the back:
The seam up the back is soooo cool. The project’s knit side to side (thus the seam in the middle of the back). The collar’s made by increasing needle sizes gradually for 8 rows each–i love the drape! A nice project, and something I may do again in a wool or mohair for winter. For this project, I used five skeins of Cascade’s ultra pima–a lovely mercerized cotton that dresses up the piece a bit. The ultra pima has 220 yds per hank, so for $9 or so, you can get a lot of knitting done. I barely broke into the 5th skein.
Now onwards to adult garment #6. I’ve got a few projects on the needles that need attention. Time to dust them off!
