Ballet-Schmallet

So here it is, the great "I'm so over it" item of 2006....


Isn't it mahvelous, dahling!

Actually, after blocking I'm beginning to fall back in like with this top. OK so it's not cotton like the pattern suggests, it's Paton's Katrina which is a gazillion percent plastic, (but yet very stretchy and soft) that somehow has the density of lead. I swear there's only three or four hundred grams of yarn there but this thing weighs a metric ton. And a half. I'm also not doing the cute little gather at the neckline due to saidstodgy properties of the yarn. Instead I'm making a ribbed boatneck edging, which incidentally I hate and will be ripping out in the near future. Sigh, I'm not having much luck with the knitting god's these past couple of weeks :(
