Kiwi

This weekend was very productive; I finished my GG top but didn’t have enough time this week to take pictures of me in it. Verdict: LOVE it! Love everything about it: the simplicity of the design, the fact that it is top-to-bottom knit, the way the colour looks in the pain st. st. This yarn is made for the plain st. st. But is it a Kiwi colour? For me it looks more like green apple on the sunny day or pistachio.



Model: GG from Zephyrstyle
Yarn: 5 balls of Lana Grossa ‘New Cotton’ in colour kiwi
Needles: Addi’s circular 24’ and 40’ in 3.5mm and 4.0mm, Addi’s DPN 3.5mm
Modification: well, a part from the initial cast and the fancy pattern everything had been knitted to fit my body and so had been knitted from my head and not using the instruction

Recycle

Remember my green bolero, the one I crocheted last summer and wore only once to make pictures of it. Well, I have finally ripped it and casted a completely new project with the salvaged yarn, a knitted project as I am not a crocheter.
It is a Green Gable: the picture is rather old (taken today in the morning), I am now down to waist. I thought of taking pictures of me wearing it, but then even down to waist it is still revealing.
This is my first top-to-bottom knit and I do love it. I can play with the pattern, do increases and decreases whenever I want and if it does not look right I might just rip couple of rows and start all over again. This particular yarn is perfect for plain stockinette stitch; want to finish it as soon as possible. But since I only knit on the weekends now, it will take some time.
