Knitting Goddess #9
Sitcom Chic, Version 2
Yarn: TLC Cotton Plus in black
Pattern: Sitcom Chic
Needles: 5s & 8s
Started: June 2005
Finished: July 2005
I made Sitcom once before two years ago and thought it was the best thing ever. Then I started wearing it and realized I hated it. I liked the pattern and decided I needed to make it again.
The yarn is TLC Cotton Plus, which is pretty much perfect for this sweater. The front edge still rolls a bit, but I haven't sewn in the ribbon yet. It's probably about 5-10 stitches too big (even if my bust size hasn't changed with the weight loss, the rest of me has!), but it's hard to adjust sizes with a seamless raglan sweater. The button was pulled from the old sweater, and if I decide I need ribbon, I may pull that from the old one, too.
I wet blocked this sweater, which was kind of the worst idea ever. It took three days to mostly dry, though the worst of the curling stopped.
I'm very happy. And I mean it this time.
