More Fitted Knits

I finished the Bulky Mini Cardigan from Fitted Knits a few weeks ago, but I haven't sewn the buttons on yet. I used Cascade Revolution yarn from the Webs Anniversary sale. I made the body a little longer and the sleeves a little shorter than the pattern called for. I like how it came out. I have it held together by a DPN for the picture. I think the t-shirt and shorts are a nice touch too, don't you think? LOL

I also started the Drop Stitch Tank, using Cascade Pima Tencel. This one has been started three times. The pattern says to make it at least 6 inches smaller than the bust size. I wasn't making it small enough. It's still a little loose, but not too bad. I'm knitting it on circulars. The picture is from the side, so you can see the back on the right and the front on the left.

I decided to knit more rounds of the full drop stitch pattern and move the ribbing up to my waist area. I think this will accommodate my belly and bring it in for a little waist shaping. I guess I'll have to separate for the sleeves and knit flat after that. We'll see how many times it takes me to do that. I really like this yarn though. It's really soft and has a nice sheen to it.

heather that looks great! I admit I had my doubts while you were working on it but it really does look excellent finished!

Nice FO! I never worked with that yarn before, and I like the colors. Can't wait to see that dropped stitch tank!
