Why, it's a completed tutti frutti striped top!
Project details: The pattern is from Rebecca 22, but I adapted it for Estelle Young Touch Cotton yarn and further customized it to fit my frame. I used Addi Turbo 3.5mm's for the body and Clover 3mm's for the neckband. Fun, fun, fun was had while knitting this top, as I had cut both the back and the front pieces before seaming in order to add four rows above the ribbing at the hem. The pieces were then joined by
grafting.
Danke, Katharina Buss!
Of course, there are whack dance rabbit shots for you. Notice how some magazines of late are reflecting the "vintage look" trend by showing off their knits in black and white photography? Well, me too:
This sort of top is perfect to wear on its own or under a denim jacket when the days are sunny but chilly, and winter clothes look out of place. As it turns out, we are having this sort of weather lately, so hellooooooo, bright stripes! I got to wear the top on Sunday (when the pictures were taken) for a
walk with the dog, and I think I'll wear it again today. I was happy to discover that the turquoise stripes match perfectly with
my turquoise Dr. Scholl's. Man, I love those shoes. The sound of the soles on the ground make me feel like I'm wearing Japanese geta.
