Green Gable is done and it fits perfectly.
The yarn is Tahki Cotton Classic in tan but it looks more like blush to me. I went with the size small and it looks great.
I rarely knit with cotton yarn but working with Cotton Classic has inspired me to do some more summer knitting. I've picked some great projects for the summer.
(Clockwise from top left)
- Roundabout Leaf Tank in Berocco Demin Silk
- Tube Toporini in Rowan All Seasons Cotton
- Diagonal Triangle Tank in Artyarns Royal Silk and Silk Ribbon
- Picovoli t-shirt in Debbie Bliss Cathay
First up is Roundabout Leaf Tank. It just looks so interesting to knit. Fellow KALers Laura, Jillian and Crissy have gotten me excited to start. First, I have to knit another Baby Bobbi Bear for the Knit Cafe class that I'm teaching later this month. As soon as he is done, it's on to the Roundabout.
That's a lovely Green Gable sweater. It really does fit you perfectly.

It was great to see you last night and Green Gables looks great in person! Any chance that you'll come to KC on Sunday? I'm trying to get a little group together to go, and will probably arrive around 11.

Looks great!
I'm actually considering getting one started myself.
Mmm...
I also see you've been knitting from Greetings from the Knit Cafe.
I've REALLY been lusting over that book for awhile. Is it worth it?
Mmm...

That is a fabulous top! It fits you so well. Oh, great, now I have to make one of those, too.
Hmmmm, I seem to remember about 10 hanks of Cotton Classic in my stash...

Wow! That turned out great! I'm still working on my guage for this top but I'll get started soon. I know what you mean about summer cotton tops! I'm just putting the finishing touches on the Honeymoon Cami from Knitty.

Nice GG! Where did you find the pattern for that great Diagonal Triangle Tank?!?!

It was worth it to start over -- that looks great on you. Please keep us posted on your cotton tanktop progress. I've bought yarn for one, but I'm a little nervous to start on it.
