The Grass is Always Greener



I recently found this yarn I'd purchased many years ago...like, MANY. I have two full skeins of it and the color is SO deep and vivid, and shiny too. It's Caron Simply Soft in, simply, "Green". I LOVE the color, the feel, how it's working up, everything. Not finding anything online that really floated my boat for this yarn (insanity since I spend 99.9% of my day online browsing everything knitting-related), and knowing I wanted something I would actually wear, I decided to "make up" a basic tank (in quotes b/c it's so NOT original).



So far: I cast on 144 stitches (a guess) and I've done 2" of a 2x2 rib at the bottom and then switched to stockinette for what I estimate will be about 8 more inches (a total of 10.5 to reach right under the boobs). Then, for the boob part, I'm going to do seed stitch...and straps too, likely crocheted like my Razor Cami was.

carons so soft is exactly that - super soft. I made a lot of scarfs from that when I started knitting like crazy a few years back.

Thought I will drop in and check out your blog so far so good on your project. I also love that Caron working with that Caron myself on me a shirt. Best of luck on your project. :)

Hey Whitt didn't know another way to respond to your question that you asked on my blog but, here. For the shrug for my daughter I mainly did a long retangle that measure from her wrist to wrist I got the information from Uncommon Threads when a group called Crochet Nation was on there you can probably go to DIY and look up Crochet Nation and it will take you to alot of Crochet Nations patterns from when they was on there a couple of times. So easy to do. But, again thanks for the comments:)

I love this green colour. And I'm looking forward to seeing the finished tank.
