I’ve had a short career as a semi-serious knitter…meaning since i’ve actually begun to start AND finish a project. I’ve showcased some of my stuff here but for some reason never got around to photographing the 2 tops i knit which i thought turned out quite well…well they are decent enough for me to wear out so that counts for something!
The first was this top which i knit using the measurements of a regular sweater and modified the neckline. I remember it was just after i had done my first lace practice project and decided to create my own design using my favourite stitches. The lavender yarn is lace-weight and so the edges and neckline didn’t hold up very well when i was done so i decided to improvise some more and taught myself to pick up stitches to give the top some decorative edging. I’m not sure if everyone will agree but i love the colour contrast between the vivid, deep red and the lovely lavender. Best of all its the perfect weightage to wear in sunny Singapore.
The other top that i’m pretty pleased about was from Simply Knitting magazine and its a ribbed camisole pattern called ‘Summer Dreams’. Here is a picture of the pattern in the magazine and my finished work after. Thats all for today folks…i have a few more things approaching completion and i’ll be showing them off shortly….errrm provided they turn out alright!! Have a great week everyone.
