Twelve tops
Over the Xmas break I decided I wanted to try to make 12 tops/shrugs/dresses in 2010. I went through and chose the following 12 patterns:
Evening shrug
Some like the evening shrug and coachella had been in my queue for a while whilst others like the ballet camisole were a new find. I’ve worked out what yarn I want to make them out of, how much I need and I have 10 out of the 12 yarns and most of the patterns and needles.
I cast on the first one on the 1st of January and was finished by the 12th of January. It was the lovely Diva Tunic by Phoenix Bess who is so talented it’s almost sickening but I love her designs.
Although I like knitting I’m not much one for cables and colour work. The smooth funky patterns like Diva Tunic are the ones which appeal to me the most.
So here it is:
Seeing as I finished my first one I cast on for the Minimalist Cardigan using my blue Malabrigo worsted that I bought ages ago for another project which I found too hard to do. I’m about 30-40% into this cardigan and although its inches and inches of moss stitch it’s actually going quite well.
I’ve done loads of other knitting since the last time I posted so more pictures next time!
Whilst I was looking through the other Minimalist Cardigan projects on Ravelry I found that I wasn’t the only one planning to make 12 tops in 12 months. So I’ve joined the group: Knit a sweater a month challenge. Here’s hoping I manage to complete the challenge!
SO PRETTY! That tunic is so flattering! That neckline is perfect for you.
Thank you! My sister has now decided she wants one as well so its a good job I like the pattern.
