Just Peachy
I love knitting tanks! They practically knit themselves on the needles, they're so easy to do. The front was finished last night and tonight I'll do seaming, peach nectar being the non-alcoholic beverage of choice for this party. Here's a detail shot on the finishing pattern. Gotta do some situps before I post any pics!
Le Tour de France starts this Saturday! We don't own a tv (and quite frankly, we don't miss having one), so we get most of our news either from internet news sites or from the papers. This event, however, is probably best on the tube because it's action! I just love seeing the peloton chugging up the hills like some gigantor amorphous creature. Wonder if Becky will be bouncing up to watch any of the stages near Lyon? BF and I are rooting for the T-Mobile Team; for him because German wunderkind Jan Ullrich is on the team; for me because they're wearing pink! Such a superficial reason, but seriously, you can spot them a mile away. (smirk) I could go into a more serious discussion, but I'll summarize: Lance Armstrong could win it, but hey, let's cheer for the underdog this year, yah?
One more thing: happy birthday to MJ #1!!! Okay, back to work.
The tank is beautiful. It looks so soft and wonderful. Great knitting, as usual!
Hey that was quick! It looks scrumptious - good enough to eat, love the leafy detail, wonderful work. (Is it your birthday? Happy birthday, if so!)
Your tank top looks beautiful. That yarn does look nice and cushy.
Absolutely gorgeous tank~ I love it & want to make one! Are you going to post a pic with a model?
Soo... this issue of Rebecca... is it hard to get your hands on one? (I usually purchase single patterns or make them up as I knit!)
The tank is absu fabu--and thanks for the detail pic, I think I'll be on the look-out for a Rebecca 25 now. The picture on their website doesn't do anything for me, but your pics really sell it.
Now, I need to go do some push-ups and sit-ups myself though, 'cause just looking at it makes me suck in my gut. ;)
Debra: I got my copy from my LYS, and it includes the English translation. Yarnmarket (www.yarnmarket.com) sells it, and I may get the other issues from them. If you want a preview of all their issues, got to Rebecca's site (www.rebecca-online.com). I like my #25, there's another pattern in there I'll probably knit next!
Tortuga: Wish I could've gone to Solvang with you and Jen! I know, the way the back recoils back into itself is a little alarming!
