As it was payday and I’ve got two days off next week I treated myself to a haircut after work yesterday. Was really nice and relaxing having my hair washed and cut after a very stinky week in the office.
Here are some photos of my Tequila Sunrise sleeves, one finished and one almost finished. There’s a small chance that I may be able to post a picture of the finished object next weekend as long as I can get another ball of yarn on Monday at Get Knitted. We’ll see, it may take a bit longer as this is my first garment that I have to block and sew together.
I haven’t done any other knitting this week but I have been thinking about a lilac cotton summer top that I knitted a while ago. It’s a kind of diamond shape and you sew it up in a tube with the seam on the diagonal – like when you unroll a cardboard tube. But having pinned it together and tried it on the tube is very long in the body and I’m not!! I don’t love it either, it’s one of those projects that by the time you’ve knitted it you end up not liking it and a bit disappointed. I also don’t think the shape will suit me at all. I’ve got two choices I can either a) sew it up and then sew up the ends and make a tube shaped knitted pillow/cushion or b) frog it and use the yarn, which I still like, to make another little summer top – maybe a vest (tanktop in American!) or something.
