A few months ago (right in the middle of being extremely busy with school stuff of course) I got this brilliant idea to pick a knitting pattern book and knit every project in it in a year. I actually took a morning off studying and went to the book store and picked out a book (My memory wants to say that I stood in the rain that day waiting for the bus, but I know that is a lie because it was March! Silly memory!). Lucky I came to my senses and decided that was a silly idea because I don't have time to knit that much, as much as I wish I did!
I did start a new knitting project the other day. Delphine (lacy cap-sleeve top) from the book French Girl Knits by Kristeen Griffin-Grimes. I am loving it so far. The yarn feels great (Americo 100% pima cotton), very soft. The pattern says to do four pattern repeats of the lower edge pattern. I have decided to do six (and have done so already) to add length to the body. I have read many complaints that the top is too short and I like my shirts on the longer side (I have a long torso, or so I am told). I am making the smallest size and I hope that it will fit and not be too tight! But a little tight should be good for a top to wear with skirts. Now I just need to have this top finished before the end of summer so I can wear it with skirts!
