top, tanks, and tees... work + shelter makes me happy

we're already one week in to luvinthemommyhood's  tops, tanks and tees knit along. and oh my am i ever impressed at how much progress a lot of you are making! seriously! it's crazy. lol.

i honestly wish i could say that i've been making that same progress, but not so much. lol. i had cast on a few days late, and then after the ribbing, i ended up ripping it all out. i really thought it was going to be too big.
so i'm now down to knitting my work + shelter tee on 4mm needles. :)
but so far, i'm loving it!


let's also keep in mind, i have another knitting gig that keeps me knitting just about full time hours... so i'd say my progress is going quite well... no? but just you wait. i'm a stubborn girl... (it's the dutch in me, i can't help it). i am determined to catch up this weekend!

sometimes false starts make for better knits anyways.

have you joined in on the knit along? how far along have you gotten? are you dealing with false starts? come chat, i'd love to hear about your progress! xo

  1. Woot! I love the pattern and the colour will look awesome on you!
    I started my Gemini last week but had to stop after the lace part. I had to order needle tips from elann.com (their warehouse is in Delta... who knew? :D )and my Mum-in-law is picking them up for me. I'll be picking them up this weekend so I can continue knitting this top like a mad woman... :)

    Hope you're enjoying the beautiful sun! :) *hugs*
