Although I fully expected to have, by now, delivered a post about my failures (lots!) and successes (some!) in sewing with knits, it’ll have to wait a bit longer because I’ve got no photos. Most of what I’ve been making has been for me and it’s so hard to photograph one’s self without a camera in front of the face. Soon, I promise…
Until then, I give you the Spring Garden Tee, a fantastic pattern by Alana Dakos. Finished last weekend—and worn within two hours of the last end being woven in—this latest hand-knit addition to L’s wardrobe is a winner. Knit up in Mirasol’s T’ika 100% pima cotton yarn, it is super soft and silky. I threw together another skirt from my go-to “pattern” in a sweet little Sevenberry print and my girl had a new favorite outfit to wear.
Check out Alana’s other patterns and you might notice she’s developing an adult version to be released in June available now! That will definitely go in my list of “must-makes.”
