one inch
that's about all i've knit on the tank this weekend. i was sidetracked by this one skein of Mountain Colors wool/mohair handpainted yarn. the colors just made me think of my stepmom, a very earthy/outdoorsy kind of gal. i knew i'd be visiting her this weekend, so i thought i'd knit something up for her and bring it along. i decided to use knit & tonic's dream swatch pattern, which is super-easy. i brought it along on my visit today, so she could decide if she wanted it a single or double wrap length. single it is.
i left her house with a box of old buttons that belonged to her mother and grandmother, beautiful ones, glass knots, glass balls, painted wooden buttons, and odd shaped plastics. i can't wait to use them.
i should be finished with the scarf tonight, then it's back to the tank. i'm not sure where to go from here with it. part of me just wants a few decreases and a 2 inch band of garter stitch under the bust, but then i think i might want to make a sort of belt, closing with 2 rows of 2 buttons, just under the bust. then i'm thinking that i absolutely do not want to end up on you knit what. know what i mean?
