Here are some close up (semi) and distance shots of the one skein wonder. I have it on as I am typing and find it very comfortable. It doesn't bunch or annoy the armpit. However, I would bet that deoderant stains would be an issue. Then I still have the bra strap problem. This tank top is terrible, I spent most of the time in between posing for pictures trying to obscure the bra strap. Normally I don't care, but I wanted to show this beauty off in all it's glorious wonderfullness!!
I really wanted to finish it today, because the yarn for Teagan's sweater should be here any day and Tara would have a fit if I got the yarn and worked on a project for myself over Teagan's sweater. That sweet little baby needs it sooner than I need any sweater type items. They are already having weather in the 50's (and it stays in the 50's all day). But I busted ass on this and got it done (I even was so motivated, I already wove my ends in. I would not let myself try it on until it was COMPLETE!!) I really need to know how to tie better knots. I finnaly mastered weaving in so that it blends in and is nearly invisible, but my knots are huge and narrly and hideous and sometimes come undone. Is this a problem of bulky yarn?? Why do I never see the knots in professional garments?? What can I do??
So Kyle had things to say about this little sweater, like... "WHat is it for, what purpose does it serve". He is pretty much about pure function, as am I most of the time. I explained to him that a t-shirt is warmer than a tank top, so this helps to create t-shirt warmth without the t-shirt. Plus I told him it was the perfect tattoo bandaid. You see, while I love my tattoo's, my work does not. My boss does not want me to wear anything that would reveal them. So this number does a PERFECT job of making clothing that was once unwearable to work, now wearable. YEAH!!
Okay, I should be going, this has been a bloggy kind of day for me. But you know... Work, School, the usual!! Plus Kyle and I are meeting with the man who will be marrying us tonight, so I always feel the need to pick up so our house isn't the huge pit that it normally lives in. My priorities are all backwards!!
