Knitting continues on my deadline-project . . . and I’m very nearly finished. (Just a couple more rows, weaving ends, and blocking.)
I can’t wait to wear it (because it’s perfect for summer), and I can’t wait tell you more about it (because I think some of you might want to make one, too). It’s easy to knit, fits great, and has some really fun color blocking options. I’m going to go way out on a limb here . . . but if you’re looking for a cool and swingy summer tank top, I think this one has the Shakerag beat (in my book, at least . . . it has more shape, it’s less boxy, and there’s still plenty of swing) (plus . . . the finishing around the neckline and arm holes is simple and neat).
Anyway. Stay tuned. I’ll share more details and photos in a few weeks . . . as soon as Elizabeth releases the pattern and I’m free to share.
Oh . . . and JoJo wanted to get in on the knitting photo shoot, but it was very hot and I couldn’t get her to go outside with me to pose near my knitting. So she did the next best thing . . . by watching through the window. (Silly dog.) (Although, in this case, very smart to stay inside where the air is cool and much less muggy!)

How about you? What are you working on this week?
I am looking forward to seeing the finished knit, Kym. You whipped that out incredibly fast. I have managed to squeeze in some reading this week, but no crafting. Wink is still taking up a lot of my time, but it’s to be expected and fun (most of the time).
Dame JoJo looks adorable from the “cool side of the glass” Haha! I am really eager to see this new sweater (especially since I have a pretty good cast of cast-on-itis going right now!) I have nothing color blocked in my wardrobe!
Your “teaser” is working — I can’t wait to see this new project. Though otherwise, I’m with JoJo.
It’s always good to see JoJo in a photo! Your knitting is looking good, I like the colors you chose.
oooh watching for that too to be released. Being terminally color indecisive i love a color block project!
JoJo is so smart.
I love the JoJo cameo! I’m very much looking forward to seeing and hearing more about this mystery project.
Count me as another person looking forward to the pattern release! I think JoJo deserves an extra treat for figuring out how to stay inside and be cool and still be in the photo. Good job Kym on the test knit and good dog, JoJo!
So looking forward to this project. Swingy in summer is the best.
Cool!! (Like JoJo!) Looking forward to checking out that pattern when it’s available.
I look forward to seeing the finished project. JoJo is one smart dog. This muggy weather seems a little early to me.
Love the colors of your project. They remind me of sorbet. JoJo is one smart dog.
BTW, I attempted to comment last week and I couldn’t. Not sure why, but this has happened several times….
