Came across this video by French singer Camille. The idea of a full sleeved, floor length knitted dress in that color blue kind of makes my teeth hurt, but the video is awesome with the idea of Le Fil (the thread) encompassing her. The visuals of the yarn knitting itself are cool too, though it's obviously just being pulled out and run in reverse. I really like the static in her hair too. Ooh la la.
Finished the swirled tank top that I was working on and can't wait for it to be warm enough for me to wear out. I did wear it, but had a sweatshirt on over all day and no one saw it, so that doesn't count. I do think I made the straps just a touch too short, but in all honesty I'm probably the only person who will ever notice. Lesson learned from this top - learn to sew better! All I had to do was attach the straps in the back, 6 stitches across each, and man it was just straight up difficult.
I have more of this yarn in a heather green, but it's 100% wool, not a cotton/wool mix. I can't imagine it'd make a good tank top, being wool and all, so maybe I'll just make a hat out of it. I do love me a brand new knitted hat.
Here is a link to the pattern if you'd like to make one yourself. It took me about a week knitting for just an hour or so each day. More dedicated and it's a two-day project, no problem.
