I felt compelled to post, even though the weather is very dark and dreary and I can't get a great picture. I have the crochet edging and the buttons left to do. I still have to actually buy the buttons. But this is a pretty fast knit, and I had lots of plane and airport time to knit when I went to Mexico. I was inspired by Sandra (I love her colors), who did hers so fast, and knitted whenever I had a minute. I love the little wedges which give such a good shape, and they also break up the project, knit twelve rows, knit a wedge, knit fifteen rows, knit a wedge. Somehow that was very motivating.
I almost don't want to post, I kind of want the Mexico pictures to be at the top of my blog forever and ever. I thought about putting one in my header, but pictures of palm trees don't exactly scream "pine cone lodge". :)
Pretty!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can change your blog to Palm Tree Lodge?
The camisole is just beautiful! Your knitting is gorgeous and those little buttonholes look perfect...I really like the shaping.
ReplyDeleteWow, what pattern is that? I will look under poetry camisole. Oh It is inspiring. Ilove the color.
ReplyDeleteMexico foreve would not have inspired me to knit the top,....so thanks

Stunning! You've done beautiful work on this piece! The shape is gorgeous! I must add it to my list of things to make.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS CAMI! I want to make one too! Maybe I'll try swatching with some of the single balls I bought to see which one can get gauge. Love how yours is coming along.
ReplyDeleteIt's such a beautiful piece of knitting!
ReplyDeleteWow! Gorgeous! And you are very very fast!
ReplyDeleteGuess it is finished, eh? Gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteOooh, I'm more and more tempted to knit one of my own, now that I can see the details better with your pictures.
ReplyDeleteYou did a great job. I feel very tempted to knit such a beautiful carmisole.
ReplyDeleteoh she is gorgeous... I love the shaping and the front gussets (?), and the vertical panels that have the knitted texture, oh and the colour, you know, just everything... Is she all finished?
ReplyDeleteoh beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThis camisole is turning out nicely. And it's easy you say?
ReplyDeleteYeah! I can't wait to see this finished!
ReplyDeleteMe want one too please! Mm, knitting envy is a bad thing but having bought the book with Kris when I was in Norway last week, I am suddenly thinking that I may need one too ;)
ReplyDeleteAwww, this is coming along so beautifully! What a great design, I really adore this pattern, and the calm color you're using seems to be just perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that it is still so dark and dreary over there! I didn't realize how important having abundant sunshine was to me until the weather finally started to be consistently sunny here and I started to feel so much cheerier everyday. The cami is lovely. The color is so restive and the shape is great. Do put one of the Mexico picture in the header! I say so for purely selfish reasons -- it would be so nice to get a vicarious vacation every time I visit. :)
ReplyDeleteDen er bare nydelig! Gled deg til å ta denne i bruk, lekker!
ReplyDeleteI really like the shape of the camisole. What is the name of the pattern (I apologize that I've probably missed your posting of it).
ReplyDeleteYou could always switch to Palm Tree Lodge for the summer...
You have been making something wonderful! I love the color and the shaping, too. The travel pics are so nice and cheery! Your blog is very inspiring - the black and white kick is fresh, yet dynamic.
