Notes

I’ve been wanting to start this forever!! Or…. at least since I got the book at Christmas! :)

04/09 - Four rows done and I think this is going to be BEAUTIFUL! I am very excited.

04/11 - I stopped counting a while back and realized on row 20 that I somehow had 68 stitches instead of 65. Oops. Oh well, it could have been worse. I did some dc decreases and all seems well again!

04/13 - I started working the last five rows (left strap) and something went wrong… I only have to rip three rows, though, so that’s not too bad! The instructions were slightly confusing… I should have gone with my instinct! Oh well. :)

04/14 - Front finished! It fits great and looks pretty good… lots of ends to weave in and a little crooked at the bottom, but it isn’t too bad.

04/21 - I love my tank top! I finished sewing it together last night and decided it needed some sort of trim. I did a row of picots along the top over lunch today and will do the same to the bottom border and back tonight. I still have a lot of weaving to do, but I think it looks marvelous! Haha. Very exciting! Pictures coming soon!!

I pretty much finished my shirt today. I finished the picot edging and added buttons to the back. I think it looks swell. All that is left is weaving everything in because I don’t like how it looks hooked under the double/single crochets.

Don’t mind the loose ends in the top picture!

Also, since I didn’t do the turtleneck and did the small size… I have a ton of yarn leftover. (Which is wonderful because I love this yarn!)
