Rocking Again

Sarah has a new sweater. Surprise, surprise. She knit Tanis’ Rock It Tee again. Sarah loves this sweater. Everyone that she has made fits her perfectly.

Thank you John for the great pictures.

I used to think that summer knits weren’t for me, boy was I wrong! There is nothing more comfortable than an easy breezy knit top. Over the past few years I’ve been working steadily towards building up my summer knits wardrobe. I’ve got a few summer knits in my closet now but what I realize was missing is a staple, go-to, v-neck tee. I’ve chosen to create tone on tone stripes by alternating between fingering and mohair yarn in my favourite shade of blue, but this basic shape lends itself to infinite possibilities when it comes to stripes and colour blocking.

Knit top down, flat until the neck shaping is complete and in the round after that.

You can purchase the pattern on Tanis’ website. 

Sarah used a fingering weight yarn from her stash. She knit the 4th size for a ‘nice flowy fit’ and omitted the eyelet detail on the side.

Mine is sitting beside my knitting chair. I’m past the neck and working around and around for the body. I need to pull it out and finish it. I say that about a lot of projects 😘

You can knit the sweater in a yarn that is slightly thicker than fingering. Lynn made hers in Pollock which is closer to a sport weight.

She used 3 balls of Juniper Moon Pollock (colour 112 Lavender Mist) on 3.75mm needles. 

This is how I have been working for the past few days - a pop up in the corner of my iPad screen with the golf on.

You might not know that we have pretty stitch markers available on the website. They are like jewelry for your knitting needles. These stitch markers are made in BC. 

Why did I think about these today? Because I spilled the basket of them twice while I was in the store. And then Beth spilled them.
