Razor Halter~

Tadaa~~!!
Razor Tank / Halter Tadaa!

Some changes were made to this.

It was actually a tank/cami, but I prefer halters - so... I changed it.

And then it also had thinner straps, but I prefer a slightly thicker one...

And I also prefer a snug fit, for those days out in the sun especially.

Behold the razor halter!

Razor Tank / Halter Complete!

Razor Tank / Halter worn

The pattern is available here.

This top is knitted from Phildar Coton yarn in color 'Atoll' with my favorite Clover needles.

Razor-ing around~

I don't know how much longer I can finish this but I hope to share a picture of the completed project soon~! :)

As promised yesterday - pictures of my Razor Tank so far.

Almost there...

And I'm wondering if I should make it a halterneck top instead? hmmm...

Razor a little more!

Razor Tank almost there~~

Almost there for Razor Tank~~
Pictures tomorrow :)

I am considering changing it into a halter neck which I would prefer ... But still in the works.

This is quite exciting!

(and I think I might have more Phildar left than expected! So I'm quite sure I can make something else! :D)

My Fave WIP... :)

I admit, I have startitis. So there's a number of projects I've started but the time I have to really complete them? hmm...

But then again, I've been making good progress recently. Maybe it's because I'm starting to get the hang of it in the recent months. I know I started knitting away some years back but I never really put my heart into it until the last 8 months or so.

So, Here I present my favorite WIP as of today! It's my Razor Tank!

And today it stands at 20 repeats (actually 22)

Razor Tank 20 repeats!

It's my favorite wip so far because firstly, it's my first project working in the round, and I find it so much fun and so much easier! Secondly, it's made with all my favorite things - namely, Phildar! (Coton Micro fibres) from Lyon(!! my favorite place), with Clover aluminium needles! I also have my Clover row counter and stitch marker with this wip!

Yummy Blue

Of all the projects I have in my bag now, this is the only one that's for me. And in fact, this is the first wearable project I'm making really for myself. I'm so glad I got the cotton yarn, and such a suitable pattern because of the really warm weather here. I really can't wait to finish this! :)

Mollie likes it too!

Here's a 'sculpture' of it in case you haven't gotten enough. I just joined the new ball of yarn and have finished a couple of rows on it. :P

Racer Tank with Phildar!
Originally uploaded by st.jehanne.
I decided to do the Razor Tank with the Phildar yarn I got. I wanted to learn knitting in the round too after exams. So... Here goes! :D I think I would love this tank a lot when it's done. The coton yarn's really smooth and I'm working with clover needles. I love it already!

Can't wait to finish this really... :D
