My most recent project, post-baby-madness, is a v-neck tank top in Zen, based on this design in Rowan's Cotton Tape Collection. ![]()
I didn't count on ribbon yarn being such a b*tch to knit with--I keep poking my needle into the yarn, not through the stitch, and ripping back was an absolute nightmare when, on a weird decrease row, I somehow dropped a stitch.
At any rate, I managed to rescue most of my work with a little help from the ultimate godsend, the Vogue Knitting Quick Reference. Much as I adore the great big hardcover version, which has a place of honor on my knitting shelf, its spiral-bound condensed version fits in my knitting case and has saved me countless times. Hurrah for Vogue!
