Finishing

I do love knitting. I knit the front of the tank top over the weekend, and last night I seamed the sides – I was very proud of how my garter stitch seaming came out. You can still tell there’s a seam, mostly because of how it pulls in, but so can you in the photos in the magazine. That finishing workshop was definitely worth it!

With the seams sewn, I was able to try the top on for the first time. Hubby gave it the seal of approval and it looks like it might kinda fit. Honestly, I could probably have knit the small size but that’s ok, better safe than sorry. I’m pretty much exactly hitting gauge, but the fabric is pretty stretchy. I’m not sure I’ll be needing the extra 5th ball of yarn I ordered when I switched to the larger size either.

This morning I picked up the stitches along the armholes and knit 3 rows of edging – it’s starting to look like something! I should probably be able to finish tonight – just need to pick up stitches along the neckline and knit and sew together the straps. This was a pretty easy and fast knit for an entire grown-up sized piece of clothing!
