Knitting Community

I'm finally making visible progress on my pullover in Simply Cotton Sport:


And I am LOVING this yarn! It's so soft and halo-y and just a pleasure to work with. In the Malted Milk colorway, I get incredible stitch definition that really shows off the twisted rib of this charming design (Bottoms Up by Alice Bell, click here for the info on Ravelry), and did you notice?! I am finished with the first ribbing section! At 55 rows with over 200 stitches per row, you can probably imagine how crazy all that twisted rib made this thrower. The next section is not much better but is already going faster, and now that I can see the pattern emerging, I have new motivation to finish soon. It is getting to be t-shirt weather here in the Northwest, and I want to wear this! And then, I can start another project in a cotton, which is so much more tolerable a knitting material in the summertime!

We've got a lot of community members and staff sharing their Simply Cotton projects over in our Simply Cotton KAL, so come on by, have a peek around, and let us inspire you to get into some cool summer knitting of your own!

This is a super cute top Nina and all that twisted rib looks amazing in the cotton. Can't wait to see it all done!

Nina,
I love your efforts on this pullover. The ribbing is beautiful, can't wait to see the finished item, or any interim versions. Wish I had as much done on my City Tweed vest... with my "knit load" I'm planning for fall and winter.
