Well. I finished the Latoya Tank from Berroco.
Words cannot describe the end result of this project. I know many of you knitters out there can identify with how I feel.
The pattern was fine and I’m in no way knocking the designer or Berroco. The concept of the tank is great and it does look really nice on the model on their website.
BUT
When a 5’9″ gal like myself knit this up and tried it on – too short. Even though I lengthened it by 2″.
I have been knitting on this on and off for a little over a week. I was happy with how it was turning out and couldn’t wait to try it on. I even changed the straps to seed stitch after reading from other Ravelers that the garter stitch straps would stretch.
So I seamed it all up today and tried it on………and felt like I wanted to cry! lol
I did try it on just by itself and it just didn’t seem to look right. So I tried wearing it over a variety of short sleeve tops or short sleeve blouses with collars hoping that it would look great in a layered look.
Nothin.
So the few pics I did snap of it were taken when I threw it on over a short sleeve gray tee.
And the pics are only glimpses. I can’t bring myself to photograph the entire thing on me………….
….but I could take a pic of it on the table.
You don’t always get what you knit for.
Amen!
I’ll be knitting my socks next. A small project to work on while I mourn the failure of this tank.
Enjoy your evening guys!
