I'm back on the top again

This is how tired and grumpy I look at 7.30 in the morning. Especially when taking photos of myself in the work bathroom mirror. Two and a half hours later, I finally realised I'd left my building pass on the sink. And they put me in charge of finance and contracts because I'm 'smart'? Oh puh-lease!

Preppy Tank

People, the Preppy Tank is done. Finished. Worn. Beautiful. Too bad about those bags under my eyes.


Preppy Tank

Pattern: Preppy Tank from Crochet Today.

Yarn: Patons Zhivago in Rhubarb. I used the "old" Zhivago - you know, the soft and luscious one that Patons made before they put out their current scratchy crap they call Zhivago. I have to thank a fellow Raveller for the extra yarn when I didn't have enough of the soft stuff to finish the project.

Hook: 6.5 mm, 6 mm, 5.5 mm

Notes: This is the first garment I've made that's not a shawl or wrap or socks. It is really nice to wear and I like the length, but I'm not too sure how much I love the bulk around the waist.
