A Summer Fling
I finished up some of the projects I was knitting with store bought yarn. This brown tunic is a Norah Gaughan design. The pattern is for a sweater, but I liked the shape and thought it would make a good tunic. It's a very interesting idea: it's made of only knit stitches--no purling. You go back and forth on the bottom, sleeves, and collar and the rest is made on a circular. The pattern is call Truro. I used a cotton/linen yarn.
The other project I finished was thd knitty design called Gemini by Jane Richmond. I doubt if I'll ever wear it. I'm not sure who I should give it to. It's too boxy for me. And I was running out of yarn so I scrimped on the sleeves. I think this was my first ever knitted project made of cotton. So that was my little break from hand-spun yarn and wool. I'll call it a summer fling. I'm going back to my true love...wool.

Pretty knitting traci. I am basking in the glow of a just-blocked item, pinned out on the floor.
