Summer woolens

{  After taking these pics I re-blocked to make the top longer / acceptable to wear to work  }

Sure, it's technically summer, but if I managed to make and wear one wool knit top and survive,  why not another? I dug into the same stash of Peruvian wool that I bought earlier this year, choosing a pretty, hazy gray skein. It reminded me of the way the sky looks before summer lightning strikes, so it seemed the right choice for a knitted tank for this time of year.

I finished 85% in one weekend, and then I hit a wall and took another two weeks to finish up the straps and block it into shape. Meanwhile, I kept my hands busy during Netflix-fueled evenings filling up our wicker dining table basket with these.

Now after all the napkins and tops, I need to switch gears to some wee baby bits. Perhaps a cardigan? A winter cap and bootie set? R has also taken to reminding me that it's been a long while since I've knit him something, so there's that to consider, too.

This is the best part—choosing what to make next. Although, strutting around from mirror to mirror when I'm home alone to check out all the angles of a finally-finished piece isn't so bad, either.
