Summertime Tunic FO

I've finished the Summertime Tunic:



I'm not all that happy with it really. Mostly it's because I don't think it suits me at all. It's not really a project for the "fuller" woman, plus the yarn is quite heavy. It's 100% cotton and I think it drags a bit. But, I'm glad I did it, and I might wear it around the pool on my holidays.

I'm turning the heel on my second sock for Alice and should hopefully have it finished over the weekend, although I do have to get down to it and get some more done on my Premiere Pullover for my friend's Christmas present. It's sitting here on the table looking at me sternly saying "Get on with me!"

Summertime Tunic Progress

Progress is coming along on the Summertime Tunic. I'm nearly done the 4 1/2" from the CO edge. It's a very pleasant knit so far as it's all stockinette. I'm liking the yarn colours too. Nice and fresh. I've decided if I have enough yarn left over I'm going to do a shrug to cover my not so attractive top of arms for it too.

Something from Lace Style or I spotted a lovely one in an older IK magazine, I forget the name of it now. It was a Debbie Bliss design.

Pardon the messy work desk, I took the pics on the QT this morning before anyone else was in!

Summertime Tunic

I've finished knitting around the neck and one armhole of Dad's jumper. I have to say I am really proud of this garment; definitely my best so far.

I've cast on for the Summertime Tunic from Interweave Knits Summer 2007. It's a handy one to do for my knitting club on Tuesdays as it's mostly all stockinette. I measured myself around the fullest part of the bust for this, am I right or should it be the bra band?
