Okay, so although I'm slightly addicted to my current adventure in pattern writing...It's hard! I keep changing things in my mind, before I even get to the point of needing to do it. Currently, I'm still working on the bottom part of the shirt-top-thing. What would you call it even? It's long. And starts out big around, and gets smaller as it goes. I'm making it all solid color. Dark blue. But I'm putting stripes into it by knitting every 9th round in purl rather than knit. So there are stockinette stripes made by knitting that purl row in. Also, on the purl round, I decrease 9 stitches throughout. It's slow going, I'm only about 6" in. But it's getting faster the longer I go, obviously since it gets smaller around. Of course this bottom part can't be changed at all as I go, because that would look like knitting barf or something stupid. But I keep changing how I'm going to do the top. I still haven't decided what I want it to look like. Originally my plan had been to just try to follow what I started out copying basically exactly. Just so I could get a feel for this whole thing. But now I'm thinking, why would I do that? I already have that! I think I'd like it with criss-crossed straps better, or a tie around the neck. Or blah blah blah. And how to shape the top still eludes me. Thankfully I still have time for that, considering the fact that I still have 11" of bottom to knit.
This better work. And it better be worth it.
Maybe I'll just wear it ALL the time.
"Oh hey Rachel, that's a nice shirt...Didn't you wear that last Sunday? Oh, and Tuesday too...And maybe Monday?"
"Yes! I designed it myself, don't you like it?"
Please don't let me do that. That would be soooo annoying to me later on. And the worst person to annoy you, is yourself.
