My latest design attempt has been very satisfying so far. It’s a little CotLin top using a slip stitch chart from my Barbara G. Walker book. I had many false starts with gauge ,counting, and construction but once established, it has cruised right along.
I have already seamed the sides and now must graft the front and back, leaving a v-neck opening. It’s very curled up on itself so it looks a little small and shapeless but when draped on me, it feels like it will fit. I will then do a knit and turned hem all around or an applied i-cord to finish all the edges. I will decide once assembled and tried on.
It has been a very fun and easy project. Just enough going on to not be bored but not so much that i can’t watch t.v. I so hope my result matches my enjoyment of the process.

I love it–and I love CotLin–I’v emade a couple of pretty scarves with it. I would love to see you demonstrate this mosaic technique on YouTube (hint, hint)!
