Cherry Picking


Inspired by the Knitty cherry design, (http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEspring03/PATTcherries.html) I knit a much smaller off-shoulder tank for my 5 yr old niece. To the right is the first version. Instead of a k1p1 rib at the bottom, I used the seed stitch. Looked neat but too matter-of-factly I thought. Gave the tank a boxy look.

Frogged the band of seeds mercilessly and knit a scalloped lace instead, using a variegated yarn with shades of the beige, rust and some yellow. I just love how it turned out in the end:

Hoorah! My first with lace.
