I finally managed to finish Tomato. It’s even got buttons!
With the width of the yarn and the simplicity of the pattern, I should have been finished days ago. I thought I was. Then as I was blocking the back, I noticed a YO that just wasn’t there. I didn’t pay as much attention to this “easy knit” as I should have. Plus, I was reading. Maybe I should stop doing that if the pattern isn’t straight stockinette.
There will be no reading with Elspeth! This pattern is WAY too complex – especially when you consider all the increasing on the front pieces! After a few false starts, I think that I have made a good beginning.
And I am about to make an ending of Empire Dreams. I added the neck band last night.
All it needs are seams! Which I should get to right after I put a casserole together for tonight. We usually eat miserably when Great Gran is out of town (she is still in Mary Esther) but tonight I am going to try to change all that. I am using a new recipe, so I can’t really say for certain that we won’t have a miserable meal. My backup plan is Bay Pizza. I’m thankful we live in town – Bay Pizza delivers!
Tomatoe looks wonderful! Just the right thing between real warm and not so warm. I’m a true sucker for vests and this one looks just great on you!
Nice Tomato! It looks good on you, and I really like how the sides are open. (Oh my poor English, I hope you understand what I mean.) Good luck with Elspeth! It looks lovely in white. 🙂
Your Tomato vest is very cute! I love the color, and the buttons match perfectly 😉
Can’t wait to see more on Elspeth and the Empire Dreams–those are both such pretty knits!
Take care~
Emily you have a very cute tomato! Lisa and I were just perusing your wares and have decided that we want some…do you make them for other people you like? Especially people you like who will pay for them? We’re jealous of all the fun you’re having. I’ve finally saved your blog in my favorite places, so we’ll be back to visit again!
PS. Hi to the cute kitties. We can’t wait to meet them (all)!
PPS. You photograph REALLY well. Jealous again.
