Finally, a FO to post

[siercia]

I did a knit-along of White Lies Designs Shapely Tank with some other folks at my favorite LYS. I decided to make mine out fo Svale, a cotton/silk/nylon blend from Dalegarn. To make it interesting, I decided to make it stripey, in orange, pink and green. I just did the stripes randomly as I went up the front. After realizing the year and a day it would take to weave in all those ends, I decided to do the back in fewer wide stripes.

I'm not entirely pleased with the shape of the thing, but I'm awfully picky.

Anyway, here are some
Here's the front. Lots of fun color.



Here's the back, plainer and simpler



You wouldn't believe how long it took to weave in all those ends!

Thanks! I'm lucky, my LYS has a staffer who's seriously trained in color theory, so she's great for helping with picking colors. Makes it easy.

Even better than a compliment on the sweater. Thank you!

Wow! Wowwowwowwow. That is really, really cool. Can I put in an order for something for my unborn (unconcieved) child or is that way too forward of me? Your talent just blows me away.

Thank you =)

And not too forward at all. I love making baby stuff - it's small and fast and ADORABLE.
