Progress……of a sort

Firstly, I’ve discovered that Tivoli Ocean is not dye fast and that tinking back with this yarn is……challenging ><

 

Secondly, I really like top down construction. 

 

The beginning of the right front

 

Being modelled by the blond bomb

 

Looking more like a garment as opposed to an octopus

 

The area I'm not happy with.....

 

When the pattern required me to cast on 7 stitches, I mentally shrugged and obediently followe the instructions.

[I know that doesn't sound very much like me but even I can follow instructions without deviation........once]

 

These 7 stitches eventually made sense and became part of the ‘collar’.

 

Now that I’m familiar with how this part of the pattern goes I’m going to frog it & start again.

 

I just don’t like how the seamed part of the collar will look. Turquoise melded to gunmetal grey. Urgh.

 

And yes..I am picky.

 

It’ s my hobby/obsession/procrastination device/future career so I’l indulge my perfectionistic streak.

 

[It beats unleashing it on anything or anyone else in my life. *pushes away image of teen bedroom/bathroom*]
