A Different View

And so the body is complete.



I have just started on the bottom ribbing.  Yarn consumption is right where I thought it would be. The last stripe is much brighter than rest, but so it goes. Ribbing this morning and with a bit of luck I will be on to sleeve one by this afternoon or evening.

As you may have noticed (or not) I have been really monogamous with this top. According to Ravelry, I started this top on May 2.  It is moving along pretty fast.  A lot of that has to do with stripes.  Stripes are fun to knit.  It is straight forward knitting, but you are also looking forward to the next switch of  colours.  Your focus is always only a few rows away.  And then you look up and you have a top!  

Which takes me to the second reason I have been monogamous.  I am so bored with my clothing.  I have only a few knit tops and a few shirts and I am utterly bored with them all.  The obvious solution is to make some clothes, since I have pre-clothes, yarn and fabric, all over the place, just waiting to be made into something wearable. 

It helps keep me on track if  look at all these things as pre-clothes.  A different view on my stash.  Pre-clothes.
