In the past few weeks I’ve done more knitting than sewing. The sewing mojo was gone. A few reasons for it but the most important one is that I have been redecorating and organising my sewing room. Which has resulted in it being more messy than usual and not inspiring at all. Last weekend the painting was done and gradually I’m feeling I can do something again.
My current knitting project is the Ivy top from Petiteknit. I’m using remnant yarn from earlier projects of both my daughter (who is an avid knitter) and myself. To get an idea of how to work the stripes I made a drawing of how it could look like:
As the pattern is designed for negative ease, which I don’t like, I used a larger size than I normally would. Even then I added some extra increasess for the bust area. The top down knitting makes that you can easily fit during the knitting process and I think it’s okay. I’ll be ready for summer (which is still a long way off).
