Today I don't have any finishes to show you, so I guess it's time to introduce a couple of new WIPs.
The first up is Windswept. I anxiously waited for a couple of months before the pattern was released in late May. Then I bought it immediately.
I'm using another Mirasol yarn (these are seriously addicting to me), T'ika in this royal blue color. The yarn is 100% cotton, so I'm hoping for this to be an easy to wear pullover for cool nights this fall.
My next WIP is Gemini, which I'm knitting in another 100% cotton yarn that I ordered last week, Estelle South Pacific.
This one was CO simply because it finally got hot and humid here in Nebraska, making any knitting with wool (other than for socks) unbearable. Nothing prompts summer knitting like summer. :)
I'm taking a bit of risk with my size choice for this top since I'm in between sizes and am not sure that I am able to get the full 4" of negative ease the pattern calls for. I got gauge with a larger needle than the pattern calls for, but if I knit the closest size, I would only get about 2" of negative ease. Not enough. My easy solution is to go down a needle size and knit my closest size to eek out a bit more negative ease. Hopefully this works out or well enough at least. If not... well, we'll re-vist this possibility later.
