Oui je tricote!

Monday, July 11, 2005

I'm almost done with Filtes Kim Top. I started out working with the Ruffled Top pattern from Knit 1 - but I had to work it at a big gauge which didn't flatter the yarn as much as I'd liked, and I had to make a million alterations to the pattern, so yesterday I ripped it all out and started from scratch. And by scratch, I mean smaller gauge, different neckline, different straps, different armholes, much longer, and the only thing I'm keeping the same as the Ruffled Top pattern is the crochet around the edges, 'cause I like that.

I finished the back last night and I'm halfway done with the first front. It's going to be so pretty. If it weren't for the bright barbie pink color of the yarn, I'd of died from boredom from all the rows of stockinette. 12" of it.

I ordered the yarn for my Harry Potter Scarf yesterday. If only LYS carried yarn in those colors, I'd be on my way.
My plan is to practice my "knitting while reading skills" with the HP scarf while reading Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, and wear the finished product to the 4th movie when it comes out in the fall.

hmmmmmm...
