Sonata Crest of the Wave Tank anyone?

KnittyKitty · 10-02-2006, 02:46 PM

Hi all,

After three months I've FINALLY received my yarn... not because elann didn't send it out on time - they did (they are a wonderful store!) - but a whole series of non-events by the person who I shipped it to who was on holiday at the time and was to bring it in when she returned home.... that didn't happen. Anyways, its now three months later and I have my yarn!

I was feeling, after all the frustration that I didn't want to knit the sonata tank anymore, but I went back to the site and looked at it again and fell in love once again. Soooooooo... anyone want to join me in knitting this tank?

Here'sa link to it.

OH, I almost chose that tank for my sister, but decided on Rusted Root and am currently working on it.

That's really pretty!

I absolutely LOVE that tank, however, it looks a bit overwhelming to me as a fairly new knitter. Somdeday I'm going to attempt it, though! Have fun knitting it, plus you can wear it probably year round!

Comon Holly! Let do it together!!!!! I'm sure the girls here will help right? See they're nodding yes! It'll be more fun if two of us knit it together!

I am awfully tempted - it is gorgeous!.....but I am also a new knitter and am not sure I'm up to it. (But that hasn't stopped my from trying yet!) I have a few projects OTN that I promised myself I'd finish before I ordered anymore yarn. I've finished knitting my baby TShirt, and Teddy Bear (just need to piece together), and I really need to finish my cardigan (just the sleeves left now).

I may go ahead and order the yarn for the tank top. What color are you knitting it in? I'm considering Jade.....

Hey Lizz!

I'm knitting it in Nougat. I think Jade will be a gorgeous colour for the tank! You can do it - we can do it together! The girls here are really helpful.. I think I may need help too. Maybe it just looks more technical than it really is?

lizzitude · 10-09-2006, 09:38 AM

Maybe....I haven't looked at the pattern in detail yet - I was afraid to! I went ahead and ordered the yarn this morning, and will try to get my other projects done this week so I can get started when it comes. I'm excited - I've never done a KAL!

KnittyKitty · 10-09-2006, 03:56 PM

I haven't done a KAL either but I'm glad you decided to join me!

KnittyKitty, I just don't know if I can do it! I printed out the pattern this morning and read through it a little bit. This is how I looked when I was reading it

!!!!!

Like Lizz, I've got a WIP right now that I want to finish first. Fetchings I should do for my mom's b-day which is a week from today. Between working full-time and having 3 active boys, I don't have a lot of time for knitting.

HOWEVER, I do have some yarn in mind--I think it's a cotton/silk combo in a light blue--I'll have to take a look.

Maybe I could be convinced

Hey, good luck on your upcoming interview!
