Monday, July 07, 2003 ( 5:30 PM ) Jessica I got a bit of progress done on the Smooch T (which is evolving into something different than a Smooch tank)...I'm loving this: last night I was working on one side of the front v-neck & couldn't convince myself that sleeping JUST might be a good idea, I wanted to see how the front would turn out... I got a fair bit done & just need to finish the other side of the front & start the back & make sleeves & voila! I think I'm going to call this the Shapely Smooch T since I'm using some of the instructions from the Whitelies Designs Shapely t & tank pattern for this project... here's what's happening: I adjusted the number of stitches to go with my gauge of 4.5 stitches to the inch. I did the picot edging & the V-lace edging from the smooch pattern I did the body shaping from the Smooch pattern I put in some short rows for the bust I used the armhole shaping from the Shapely tank pattern and the V-neck shaping from the Smooch pattern I will use short rows for the shoulders & do a 3 needle bind off I haven't decided whether to use the back neck shaping from the Shapely tank pattern or the Smooch pattern, I'll probably use the Smooch shaping for the back. I will follow the sleeve pattern from the Shapely T pattern but will do the bottom of the sleeves differently. I don't know if I'll do the sleeves in the round or not. I did a try on this morning & it's snug but looks like it'll be a good fit. Someone commented that I'm working fast... but I must be one of the slowest competent knitters on the planet! I wouldn't call myself experienced since there's a lot of things I haven't tried yet, but I'm not afraid to try new techniques. as far as speed goes, I knit at a lesiurely meditative pace... if I try to knit fast it hurts, so I don't... remember the Hare & the Tortoise: slow & steady wins the race... however, fast & steady will beat me any day!
