Having just finished my big project, my niece said on Wednesday it would be nice to have a beanie for little L. I guess I really need a new project and there's plenty of leftover yarn in the cupboard because by Saturday morning there was this -

A year and a half ago I was inspired by this post - @lostletters@cutie.city@aus.social
from @lostletters@cutie.city. I fell in love with those colours and that pattern
It took me another year to cast on. Over the last six months the project has morphed as I've knitting but what I got out the other end still carries the inspiration of lostletters' work even if it no longer used any of the pattern, design or even, really, the colourway
This is the first garment I've knitted in many a year that turned out the way it was in my head. I'm loving finally getting to wear it.

I'm nearly finished a tunic I've been knitting since last November. It's taken so long because even though I started intending to follow a pattern (well, two patterns smooched together) I kept being unhappy with it, frogging and then having to do research about how to make it look the way I wanted.
Anyway, I'm finally at the end. The pattern has you do a rib but I really didn't want it to come in at the bottom so I thought maybe seed stitch instead. Also, I wanted to bring the colour from the stranded work back. But I couldn't find anything online about how a seed stitch with the knits in one colour and the purls in another looks.
Turns out it looks like this. Almost liked it's woven. I love it.
