Tart
This is my next entry in the Candy-Along, which I'll call Tart for all its lemony yellowness. It's the lace tank top from Rebecca 22 (first on left). I'm using some KFI King Tut, a 100% cotton that I bought in a fit of Tour de France mania. There are changes, of course: first, the original was knit in the round and I'm doing it flat. Second, I'm doing reverse stockinette stitch as opposed to 1x1 ribbing. And third, I'm doing simple edge decreases for armhole shaping. I'm knitting this with yarn doubled on US 10.5/6mm needles, a combination that makes quick results. I thought it would be heavy, and it isn't, fortunately. What you see here is 2 days' worth of lacework, a nice break from the ribbing and cables of recent WIPs.
BF and I went to see Gunther von Hagens' Body Worlds 2 weeks ago. It was quite an eye opener. Amazing. Sure, the bodies give you that weird feeling, but it doesn't last (at least in my case). You start to see them more objectively, noting the individual organs, the muscle groups, different systems, etc. It made us think about what we do to our bodies, inside and outside, and also how the environment affects us. It's made me more aware of my physical being; all my injuries and the numerous aches and pains.
The exhibit runs until late January next year before moving to the East coast, so if you're around L.A., drop by California Science Center.
That tank is absolutely gorgeous.

Glad to see you venturing into lacework. Yours is gorgeous! We'll see you Saturday, right? Visit our blog for info on meet-ups. If you can't make the meet-up that's ok. Thank goodness I know what you look like!
It's very pretty. You always seem to choose pretty and intricate patterns to knit.
