Which-Crafts?

So I have finally done it. I have committed to knitting an object that must fit my body and won’t be hidden inside my shoes or under my pants leg.

Sleeves intimidate me, so I am going to knit a tank top. Plus its summer, who needs sleeves anyway!

And it is certainly challenging my resolve. I’ve already had to cast on 3 times. And now about 20 rows in, I have decided to rip it back to the edging and start again. This wouldn’t be quite so stressful if the yarn was a bit better. I am doing it with Valley yarns Longmeadow in a nice bright pink color. But the yarn tends to unravel a little, especially when I work with it a lot (like casting on 3 times).

I was looking at it last night and my short rows are unacceptably ugly and then I noticed a few other errors, the combo just drove me nuts! I have decided to rip back to the garter stitch edging and then try the short rows again using Nona’s Japanese Short Row technique.
