a simple bodice
Be afraid - I have actual knitting to show you!
My (finally!) finished Simple Knitted Bodice, pattern by Stefanie Japel. I actually finished this last month but yesterday was the first time the weather was cool enough to wear it.
The yarn is yummy silk from Tilli Tomas, color is Moss. I thought I was running out of yarn, so I made the sleeves shorter. Then I found a full skein of yarn hiding on my shelf. oops!
I really like the pattern and will probably make it again. I added some length in the body, and I probably should have added some above the waist trim so it sits better on my body. Some day I will learn how to add short row shaping to a project.
I posted this via flickr because for some reason I can't get Typepad to rotate photos when I upload them from iPhoto. Am I stupid for not being able to figure this out or is it a Typepad "feature"?
Looks great!
See you Wed.

Looks great! What size did you make? I have that same yarn, same colour stashed for this project and you've inspired me to get going again!

Looks great Laurel! Glad to see the finished project after seeing you working on it backstage last year at Wicked!
