Gretel Tee F.O.

Not the best photo - but it shows you the shape of the top. Ignore the PJ bottoms. Bend's thoughts on the Gretel Tee. Project Details: Patons Australia Fireside 8 Ply (6 skeins out of the 9 used). Size 6 needles. I made this a size smaller than I normally wear. It fits much better than I thought (even thought it is a bit small in the sleeves). I started it on August 30th and finished on September 10th (I guess that would make this a very very fast knit).

W.I.P October 6th

I'm still working through this tee. I'm in math hell right now - I have to keep track of the cable in the middle, the cable in the raglan sleeves and if I'm on a decrease row or not. I'll be happy when this part is done. My goal is to finish up this top at the race track this weekend. Possible?

Casting On Soon.

I've picked out my next project and yarn. I did my gauge swatch last night and have it spot on. I'm using something from my stash that was given to me by a friend that went on a trip and thought "she likes yarn". I've probably had it for 10 years and never knit with Patons before. I guess we'll have to see how it goes. This is the Slanting Gretel Tee from the Fall 2009 Interweave.
