On Geddy and Lusk

On the weekend, I did spend time knitting a little something else.  

I pulled out my Geddy Tee and set to getting the body started.

I was pretty pleased with how it was looking...however

When I picked it up this week, the fabric felt wrong.  Not bad but not right.  And then I took a look at how the stitches were sitting.

See the ripple?  I had been telling myself that the ripple would block out, one of the biggest lies of all time.  It wouldn't.  It never really does.  

Yesterday afternoon, I bit the bullet and sorted it out.  I pulled back what I had knit and I started again.

Much much better.  

I changed needle sizes, going up a bit from what the pattern asked for.  The fabric feels softer and will have a really lovely drape.  I narrowed the back neck a wee bit.  Tanis does a good job sizing it but I hate a too large neck.  All my favourite, most worn tops have a narrower back neck.  They just sit better on me.  Yes all these things mean that once again, I am winging the body of this tee.  I must love math.  Noooooooo.

Oh well.  

I made good progress on the Lusk cream and white top.  

I should finish with the bottom today, then just two short sleeves and done.  This is such a good time in the making of a sweater.  It's the state of almost.  Almost ready.  Almost yours.

So here I am, ready to start my knitting for the day.  Tea is on and my goodness I still miss my second cup of coffee.  Oh well.  Tea it is.  Some nice Irish Breakfast Tea this morning, steeped for only a short time, plain and black and good.  

The weather is perfectly spring and the doors and windows will be open and I will be knitting some pretty spring tops.  It can't get much better than that.
