Finished
May 27th, 2005
The final touches have been put on my Chevron Rib Tank! I couldn’t wait to try it on. So here is a “wonderful” shot of me wearing it in the bathroom mirror. This is pre-blocked. It so needs blocking, so I will do that and get and official picture of both the front and back up for you when it is finished blocking.
I really like it! It’s big, though. Made the medium, which is supposed to be for those with a 37 1/2 inch bust. I’m a 36, so I kind of knew going in that it might be a bit big. Also, I have a really long waist, so it seems a little bit cropped in the back. Maybe it’s supposed to be like that, though. Regardless, I kind of like the effect.
The yarn label says to wash in washing machine on gentle and then put in the dryer in low until damp, then block until dry. So I guess I will do that. But I am kind of leary about putting my knits in the washing machine. But, hell, if I can get away with that why not?
My mom and stepdad are on thier way here from Spokane! They are spending the weekend here. I’m so excited, but I need to get my ass going on cleaning my house. Have a great weekened, everyone!

I’ve always liked that pattern and I love the color you chose to make it in! Good luck with the washing. It should be safe to follow the label’s instructions.

Hi Moni! That was a quick knit! I have always liked that pattern too. It looks pretty on you
and I bet it will shrink down a little in the wash. Havea great Memorial Day weekend with the parents!

It looks great! And I wouldn’t worry too much about the washing, I’ve washed many of my handknits with no problem at all! Just don’t use super-hot water.
