The top I'm currently making | A peacock, yesterday |
On a small holiday on the south coast at the moment. Sometimes the sun shines down here! When I spotted this handsome beast yesterday, it made me think vaguely of my current knitting project (the drop stitch lace tank top from Fitted Knits).
Modifications made so far:
- knitted in the round. Cast on 136 stitches after a couple of abortive attempts to get a suitable size.
- using Debbie Bliss Cathay
- knitting the stitches next to the yo through the back of the loops, to give more stitch definition around the lacey bits
- did a couple more pattern repeats at the bottom, to shift up the ribbing towards the waist area. Don't really know why. Just can't resist a little pattern-tinkering.

you're right! It does look similar!
They do look alike! I love peacocks - they're so beautiful.
