I found the picture of the green tank top, of which I showed details of the cut-and-sew process in an earlier post.
Now it is well worn – I love it! made of silk/wool yarn it is warm enough and cool enough for most temperatures. I am certainly going to make more of those for the summer…
One thing I finished this winter, and am quite satisfied with, is my Nicole II kimono, handknit in a wool/cotton mix yarn that I dyed, on 3 mm needles.
First time i saw this pattern was a small presentation picture in an old German magazine, Nicole, from sometime in the ’80’s. I search high and low for a long time for the issue with the pattern, and FINALLYa kind soul found it and send it to me.
The original pattern is a combination of knit/purl stitches for the horisontal rows, and fishermans rib for the vertical.
That I didn’t have the patience for, so I changed the pattern completely to a knit/purl pattern:
You are welcome to use this pattern, for personal use only, though.
It was fun to knit, and quite quickly to learn.
