Jofrog is Knitfrog!
August 16 2005
I'm trying to clear things off of my plate in anticipation of Fall knitting, so this weekend it was the Phildar tank's time. I'd put this aside a few weeks ago with just the neck shaping and straps to do. After a Friday night and Saturday morning, it was ready to go! The straps have already stretched quite a bit, due to wear, and it came out bigger than anticipated even though I went with the smallest size, but I'm still pretty darn happy with it... despite how the pictures look! What can I say, I'm no professional model! The specifics: The pattern is from Phildar Tendencies #402; last spring/summer I believe. Thanks to Kerstin for first showing me this pattern! I used barely 5 skeins Saucy Sport on super clearance, (always a perk)! I also converted the pattern to being done in the round rather than two flat pieces. Definitely a perk in my book. Off to finish some other knits and work on a new one I started... um, what was that? No no, nothing new, just kidding! ;-)Phinished Phildar
The back is all ribbed, something I love the idea of and may use again in the future.
