Every one I know has seen me knitting this top. It was supposed to be an Equinox Top made with some Sirdar Pure Bamboo yarn that was on special at a local wool shop. I followed the instructions and then neck was really high and frumpy looking. Two thirds of the way through this top I decided that I didn't like the way it was shaping up so unravelled it and redesigned the neck before starting again. I did finish it this time, but months of handling, the "white" yarn, was lookiong decidedly gruppy. The label on the yarn said machine washable, so I popped it in the machine with the regular wash, and out came a perfectly white child's T shirts!
I did nothing for a few weeks, then I unravelled it and started again.
When
I finally finished it, it looked...well...ordinary. Rather than
redesign the whole thing and knit it up again I threaded a few bits of
black ribbon and put it on to drive north for a weekend.
I am so over this jumper now.
So this is now my Me Made May 12 outfit for Friday, that **** knitted top and the first skirt I made from my skirt block.
