Progress!

4/25/2005

Progress on my tank top design, as yet not appropriately named.

I was a faithful knitter this weekend worked pretty exclusively on the tank top/shell design. I’m half-way through the straight section of the waist and will soon begin the increases. That’s about half-way to the arm hole shaping! And, I have a little over 1/2 of the first ball of yarn left so I will definitely have enough yarn :-)

One of the lakes near the house I grew up in was called Wagonga (though for most of my life it seemed most people pronounced it as Waconda ????). I’m contemplating that name. Thoughts?

I did take a little bit of time this weekend to frog and re-do the first 15 rows of Shaped Triangle. But, I suspect it’ll be mostly on the back burner until I wrap up this tank/shell design project.

Once again, it’s SnB night! If you are in the area, please join us at Catalyst Coffee from 6-8pm.

  3. The shell is turning out so pretty! I really like the lacey edging.

    I’m not sure about Wagonga, it’s hard to just look at and pronouce…I’m not sure if I should say “wagon-ga” or “wag-on-ga.

  4. In my mind mix the words, “sky” and “Minnesota” then suddenly all the images of nature disappear and I see clearly - Minneapolis skyways connecting building to building, air conditioned on a humid midwestern day. Walking within, the city girl nearly humble, nearly haughty, striding surely to some excitement, wearing a luxurious lacy scoop tank the color of the blue sky above the skyscrapers.

    A name suggestion, from this Milwaukee born Midwesterner, is “Skyway Scoop”.
