My Knitting World Cup team, Summer Ensemble is complete. This has been an exciting and fun team to work with...lots of fun, true camaraderie and great sportsmanship all around ;)
Our final teammate, GF's Swing Coat Sweater (http://knitandtonic.typepad.com/knitandtonic/2005/08/draft_7.html) is ready....well, she's blocking, actually :blush: ...but, ready for us, nonetheless.
GF's Swing Coat is an alternate much like Proto (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/2006%20a%20new%20year%20in%20KNITTING/DSCN1774.jpg)...neither one turned out as well as could be expected, thus their alternate status...but, team members they are :thumbsup:
Okay, the stats:
I got the pattern from knitandtonic, love, love! I used the dreadful Cottontots yarn. I say dreadful because I have discovered that I no longer like it....I liked it when I 1st began knitting and didn't seem to have problems with it then....now, it gives me fits...I lost the ability to control my tension with this yarn :shock: . But, off GFSCS goes to Allysa for her birthday, anyway ;) I will knit another for her with a yarn that I enjoy @ a later date. Oh, almost forgot...I began knitting with size 8 addis, but switched to my yummy Options when they arrived ;) .
Okay, the other teammates are: Kidlet Tank (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/2006%20a%20new%20year%20in%20KNITTING/DSCN1650.jpg), Allysa Halter (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/2006%20a%20new%20year%20in%20KNITTING/DSCN1697.jpg), Short Snort Tank (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/2006%20a%20new%20year%20in%20KNITTING/DSCN1705.jpg), Summer Swing Top (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/2006%20a%20new%20year%20in%20KNITTING/DSCN1732.jpg), Proto (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/smringad.jpg) (the prototype for Ring-A-Ding), Ring-A-Ding Tank (http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y119/rebeccame/2006%20a%20new%20year%20in%20KNITTING/DSCN1801.jpg), and the last member is Girlfriend's Swing Coat!
