Well, for starters because I want to and I can :) And secondly, you've gotta see it to really appreciate the hand knit garments. You can experiment with such luxurious yarns and feel so special when you wear them. And third... knitting is portable. I can take my project with me wherever I go.
Summer is hardly the time to knit, right? Wrong... I love cotton and cotton blend yarns you can find these days and there is a sort of "ZEN" like feeling when I knit. I can forget about pretty much everything else and just remember the rows and stitches. Ok, so here's a photo I snapped this morning with my handy dandy tripod. I tell you, you've got to get yourself one of these. It's total freedom. Especially if you blog or write reviews, you need to take lots of photos. OK back to the finished item...
When I picked the contrasting yarn for the trim I wasnt so sure about the color but I really think that it makes the whole garment "pop" and adds a punch to it. Don't you think?
Ok, a little bit about the pattern:
Pattern: Split Neck Tee From Fitted Knits Book by Stephanie Japel

Love the colors!! And I agree the trim is perfect and makes it pop. I don't knit at all, so I'm always envious of those who do.
Wow! You look super fantastic in this, so flattering, the colors and fit superb! Your knitting skills are admirable.
Debbie, like you I also wasn't knitter, but the envy finally got to me and I decided to do it :)
Birgitte, thanks! I actually don't really have the skills. I just followed the pattern blindly. Well I did reduce the length by about 2 inches.
Deepika, I just tagged you :-) Got book?
WOW! It looks fantastic!!!!
Gorgeous color combination!
Great color combo. This t-shirt came out beautifully.
I sure wish I knew how to knit. Your top is so cute and I love the colors. That style really suits you.
Deepika, I've tagged you. Please visit my blog to see what you are to do, that is if you want to.
What a cutie color combination! You just sparkle in it. This reminds me of one of your earliest creations, the good ol' Burda zippered funnel neck pattern that made such waves on PR. It's still an up-to-date yet zingy style, and now you've knit your own. Congratulations!
