I finished my Solo Tank at a restaurant in Cheraw, South Carolina on Saturday during a meetup with some of my high school classmates, and I just had to try it on.
It's not the best photo of the tank top, but it fits well, and I'm really pleased with it.
I also had a great time meeting up with my old schoolmates. The big reunion (#30) is next year.
Here's a better photo of the Solo Tank. It was windy, so that's why the v-neck is curled on the right side.
I'm always frightened of seaming. Who wants to waste all that knitting with sloppy construction, but (Knit Clips+reference book-fear)x patience= a good job.She's almost all done here. I just needed to knit the attached i-cord around the second armhole, and weave in some ends.
I finished it just in time for my birthday which was Sunday. In addition to the mini-reunion, I got to see some family and watch the end of a very exciting Tour de France.
My brother Greg and me at church Sunday.
I had a wonderful time hanging out with him and my sister-in-law, Margaret. Today is their 3rd wedding anniversary.
Happy Anniversary guys!









Happy Belated Birthday, Vera! Patience + Talent = Great Tank!

Happy Belated Birthday!!!
The more finishing you do the better you'll get. It does get easier.
