Beaded Cami without any beads
08.07.08 | Tags: Misc, Tops | Comments: (1)

I made numerous modifications to this pattern by reading what others had done on Ravelry. I made this all in the round. Did one repeat of the pattern on the top. Moved the purl row to below the bust. Two icord straps. No beads. This is a cute top but I wouldn’t be albe to wear it alone, it needs to be layered on top.
Pattern: Beaded Camisole
Yarn: 5 Skeins of Debbie Bliss Cathay
Needles: #6 knitpicks
Time to knit: 6 days

Pattern:Essential tank from Lace Style
Yarn: 2 1/2 skeins of Knitpicks Shadow lace yarn that was bought to make the Secret of the Stole which didn’t work out and it was later used for Laminaria which also didn’t work out. I would never had thought that this yarn would wound up knitted up as a lacy tank top.

Third Pair of Jaywalker socks
08.07.08 | Tags: Socks | Comments: (0)

Pattern:Jaywalker
Yarn: Lion Brand Magic Stripes
Needles: 2.25mm circs
Time to knit: all together probably two weeks but over the span of 14 months
Gripes: I’m not a fan of this yarn and its skimpy yardage. But this was my first real sock yarn purchase made a few weeks after I started knitting. I ran out of yarn for the toes so I used the remainder of another color of the same yarn from another project.
