Boatneck Shell

That, ladies and gentlemen, is a Boatneck Shell. The pattern is from the wonderful chicknits.com, and the enthusiam from the knit-along gang.

It's done in Austermann Rubino, a washable wool that I purchased from elann.com. Size 7 needles = 5 stitches/in.

I wore it yesterday to my thesis defense/presentation (more about that over here). Now that that's over, I'll have tons more time to knit! And pack my house and move... doh.

Wow, it looks great. Lovely subtle color. And a big congrats on finishing your thesis! Woohoo for you!

Oh cool! That looks great! How did you like working with the Rubino? I got 15 balls of that and was thinking of making a sweater for my husband (dark purple color). How many balls did your BNS take, if I may ask?

Your BN is beautiful!

sarah - great job on the tank! i hope to join a knit-along one of these days...when i have a little more experience!

fyi, you left a note on my site wanting to know where my "next project" tank came from - it's a tahki pattern and can be found on www.yarnware.com.

congrats on getting past the thesis defense!

I love that sweater, and you look mighty cute, too! :)

Might Jenna get a BNS for Christmas?? :)

WOO WOO!!!!

You're my HERO!

I can't imagine how relieved you must feel to have your signatures, your presentation over with, and just be able to think about your 'new life' in DC.

How wonderful.

Congratulations and a Champagne Toast!

CHEERS.

And your Shell looks GREAT!

it looks really good! I think i want to make a sedond, and a third.....

looks FABULOUS! How's the defense go?

Fine photography too :-)

Of course, it is easy with a good model!!

Ahhhhhh, what a cute comment from your Daddy :)

great looking boatneck, Sarah! I can't believe you've only been knitting since Jan. Then again, I keep trying to tell my friends they need to learn how to knit b/c it's *easy,* lol. Love the color. ;)
