Here it is, the long awaited textured tunic. It's been finished for awhile, but there's been no sun whatsoever for the past few weeks. That is, until today - we actually got to see some blue in the sky! The first thing that I did was get out and take some pictures. I still haven't blocked this one, but I couldn't miss this one sunny day, could I?
It fits nicely, I omitted the slit at the front only because I could not find the right button. Thus, there are no buttons at the side slits either. I added some waist shaping on both sides, but didn't overdo it. You can click on either of the pics to get a better view.
It is a nice colour, the yarn is so soft. OK, the thread looks different from what I'm used to, but it knits up nicely.I used 5mm circulars this time, I tried my new bamboo needles and loved them. I guess all that I have to do know is to finally block this one.
Looks great! Is that tweed?
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I did today, too, was take some pictures when the sun came out.
mmm the yellow is lovely and autumn-y. yellow is fast becoming one of my more favourite colours!
