Here she is! Ribbita 1, to be exact. Here're the details:Pattern: "Ripped Pull" (no. 29) from Rebecca #25
Yarn: Lion Brand Cotton-Ease in hmm... I think it's Popsicle Blue, but it could be Candy Blue. Neither color on the Lion Brand website is a good match for what it actually looks like.
Needles: Addi Turbo 4.5 mm
Started: ~April 1st
Finished: April 30th
Comments: I'm wearing a tank under it. I was in the earlier picture, too. That's because the ribbing combined with the V-neck tends to quickly turn from Va-Va-Va-Voom into Boom-Chicka-Wah-Wah (which is my rendition of the *ahem* music from 70's *ahem* adult films). I'll be redoing the parts above the armhole bindoff... I don't think I'll be able to fix the *ahem* revealing nature of the V-neck, but I don't like how far the shoulders droop over my arms - sort of cap sleeves, but not really droopy enough for that. I also need to stop knitting about 1" before the current shoulder seam, to make the bodice fit a little bit better.
Oh, and for Becky, a dancing photo:
Sort of. My hair's not really purple... or white... I promise. Credit the photographer with a unique effect.
well, if you can '"repair" it on the fly, I would say you have gotten this knitting thing down.
Pretty sweater. Now, lets us see. One month per sweater. how long for a pair of socks????
MOM
Ribbita is fabulous, and so are you wearing it! And the dancing shot is an extra treat. Thanks for making my day :-)
