Remember this ole thing?
It's Make Up Your Mind, which I knit last summer, and >ahem< was not in love with. Ok, I've never worn it. Ever.
But then two weeks ago I actually wanted to wear it, put it on, and it was still ill-fitting. (Why didn't it magically fix itself in my closet?) The neckline was too droopy, and the whole thing lacked structure, being knit in an un-elastic cotton. Boo.

Luckily, I still had some of that un-elastic cotton in my stash, and I took it out and added two rows of single crochet at the neckline, armholes and hem. Problem, solved!
Cause, let's face it: It's time to get on board with summer sweaters, living in California and all.
Ooh, I like this shape! I've never made a summer sweater before, but this is so cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yeah, this is a great pattern, in general very flattering, and now much more so!
DeleteGreat fix! I'm also a california knitter who, for some very strange reason, doesn't like summer knits. Maybe it's time to step out of my comfort zone as well...
ReplyDeleteI think so! It's too hot around here to knit ONLY with 100% wool. I mean, it will still happen, but not all the time!
Deletethis is GORGEOUS! and you look gorgeous in it! and i see those awesome details in the background of your amazing apartment complex. Just wow. : )
