Summer Cotton Top

I did get out Salt Peanuts to finish off and maybe get some wear before the weather heats up. But last week we had some really hot weather for the end of winter, I am talking shorts and t-shirts, so I looked on knitting pattern central and found some wonderful cotton tops to knit. La Dolice Vita Tank (see left). I am knitting it in Heirloom 8ply cotton in green, it is looking pretty good. I did manage to knit some more last night at "every other tuesday night knitting" with Kerry, Rae and Ailsa, but not that much, a bit hard to knit pattern, talk and laugh at the same time, yes I am a woman, but some things are a bit beyond me at times.

And what happens when you start on summer knitting, you guessed it - the weather turns cold again. Well it is only the first week of Spring and it is too early to be warm, give it a few more weeks or so then it will start to warm up and stay warm. And hopefully I will have a new top to wear when it does.

Hi Ms Ruby, I like the tank idea. I hope to meet you soon at the EOTN group. I usually have to work on Sat. so Tues. is just that that tad easier. Also my mum can look after my kids!!!
