She is a charmingly simple laceweight teeshirt knit in a fuzzy yarn, which in my case is primarily Knit Picks Alpaca Cloud, perhaps with a contrast border in a deep blue from my stash:
It's a pattern I actually paid for, which is pretty uncommon for me. There are so many free patterns out there that I want to knit, and funds are so strapped right now that I frequently try to not pay for them. This one was only $5 though and I'm delighted to say that it is written very clearly so to be easily understood and the modification for bust shaping and waist shaping go above and beyond other free patterns that I usually deal with. I think this was money well spent.
I am SUPER excited about this knit, but gauge is going to be important so I'm trying to take this first part slow so I can do it properly.
Oh I love that pattern and have been sitting on the fence about purchasing it because the exact same reasons you stated - so many free ones and budget is tight.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see how yours turns out because if you find it fun, cute and flattering then I know I will love it too.
Good for you! I never swatch. I disgrace the name of all knitters everywhere...
