tops, tanks & tee's KAL progress!

time to chat tops, tanks & tees!



i have honestly been more than impressed and blown away by the enthusiasm you ladies have shown with this kal. honestly, you guys are incredible! and so many finished fo's already, not to mention many of you are powering through your second tops! wowza! i wish i could claim to be as quick as you on this project :)
but i do have an update for ya!


with the gauge that i've gotten, i'm knitting away on my gemini with 3.0mm needles, so keep that in mind ;) these are small needles for a top!
and i'm loving it. loooo-vvv-ing. i'm so very happy that this linen has a beautiful purpose now! it's looking great! and the yardage is awesome! i'm still only on the first skein!
i'm trying to power through the main body section now.


and with being a person who has many other wips on the go, this is the perfect pattern to pick up and put down as needed. no extra figuring needed ;) thank you sweet jane!
and now that the show is over, and i'm almost done all of the samples for the summer classes, i'm hoping to just breeze through the rest of this top. i'm really really looking forward to draping myself in linen. :)

i have to admit though, i'm finding it so hard not to cast on for another fabulous top before i'm finished with the gemini ;) my que grows by the hour! of course, too bad my yarn budget didn't follow suit ;)
last night i was up with this persistant cough, and i honestly could not stop thinking about malabrigo rasta yarn. and dreaming of colourways. haha. i honestly almost got up just to check them all out.

i am so enjoying this kal though, and i'm super excited to have a top for the summer! wahoo!
my favourite thing has to be just seeing all of you lovely ladies chatting away in the ravelry group though. seriously, so awesome!

how about you? how is the kal progress coming along? i'd love to hear about it! what's next on your list of things to make? xo

  3. knitting on the same top lets me know how crazy are you! You go girl!

    Malabrigo certainly is worthy of obsession...I take out my stash randomly to pet it sometimes. I'm not ashamed.

  4. Looks great. I'm doing one right now too for the Knit City KAL in merino silk which makes it more of a fall shirt, which I love. But I may have to do another in linen. Yours has convinced me.
