Halter Part 2

Just in time to wear for an unplanned trip to Las Vegas during an especially sunny couple of days, I finished the halter top I was working on.  I truly am in love with it.  So in love with it that I'll probably make it in another color with just a couple of very slight modifications from this one.

It was mindless tv knitting (meaning I could knit and watch tv and not really pay much attention and still get it right) until I got to the increases.  Then I got slightly confused on the increase here, knit in pattern, increase there simply because in my head it's all counting in rhythm and the increases (and subsequent decreases) messed with the sing-song quality of my count rhythm and slowed me down.  A lot.  That's my bad though, the pattern in no way should try to anticipate how much of an airhead I can be.

It's very comfortable, makes me look thin (yay!) and more top heavy than I actually am (double yay!) and after living with it for about a week now, the color couldn't be prettier.  The actual fabric of it is a little thicker then I'd like for a summer top, but it's only a slight complaint and isn't really that big of a deal.

Now onto the next project.
