25/8 Both straps are finished. I´m going to adjust the lenght and finish the cami this eveninig. :-)
It looks gorgegous with my black linen shorts.
I´m really surprised that I´ve used nearly 3 skeins - that´s amazing! (I supposed to use all 4 balls.)
First strap is done! I´ve tried the cami on and IT LOOKS WONDERFUL! :-))) I intended to sew the straps in the middle of back as Parikha inspired me, but I´ve change my mind and I´m going to make usual bra straps.
I´ve learnt a lot since I became a Raverly member.
I´ve learnt how to knit properly, I´ve learnt new knitting techniques.
I´ve learnt that it doesn´t hurt to try a garment on during the process of knitting.
I´ve learnt that it´s better to frog and reknit than to end up with a garment I would never wear.
I´ve learnt that blocking isn´t waste of time.
I´ve learnt that a high quality yarn is more important than an impressive pattern.
I´ve learnt that “mindful knitting” is more satisfactory and brings much better results than “speeding” in order to have a project done.
24/8 Knit the front panel back and forth for 3 cm, then switch to 3x1 rib for 2 cm. BO front ribbing with 4 mm needle.
20/8 I´m following Villilanka´s mods. I´ve started back ribbing.
Make sure, that you´re binding off the back ribbing in the RS row (the row where you make a pattern). Otherwise you would have to answer a question how to knit the pattern from the WS (purl) row. I don´t know, so I must frog. :-(
13/8 I love the pattern, it´s so funny to knit it, not boring at all, but still simple enough to relax while knitting. Perfect! Thank you, Katie, for sharing!!!
I like the colour very much. It remains me a spirit of the indian summer, when forrests shine by million shades of yellow, gold, orange and brown and the sun is soft and lazy. It remains me a little bit melancholic atmosphere of that season, which I love to spend wandering in the mountains, sitting silently on the hills, sunbathing and watching the beauty around me.
10/8 Cast on 156 stitches. I´ve never worked with cotton like Catania before: it´s incredibly shiny and very twisted. I worry that my cami won´t have any elasticity…
The pattern is very easy to memorize and funny to knit. :-)
