I made another Chickami! Why, you ask? I’ll tell you!

I was going through my shelves of sweaters, doing my yearly washing and putting away of the wintery ones, when I came across my Apricot Jacket. Remember that thing? I have a love/hate relationship with it. I absolutely adored knitting it. But I hated the final product. I hated the way it fit on me. And so I put it in my closet and never looked at it again. Until a few weeks ago.

An idea occurred to me. I had some of the yarn from that project left over. Why not make a tank top to go underneath it? See, the biggest problem with the sweater was the armholes. I messed up the seaming because they are kind of tight. So any shirt I wear under it will bunch up weirdly.

So I dug out the pattern and cast on. About halfway through I realized I wouldn’t have enough yarn. So I thought I’d try the wide stripes with some other Cotton-Ease color in my stash. As I was working on my second green stripe I ran out so the rest was knit with blue.

I actually love the way it turned out! And guess what? It looks great with the sweater! I even wore it last week and absolutely loved the combo! I am wearing the outfit tomorrow so I will get a shot of the two together so you can see.

I’m Stoked! A sad knitting story with a happy ending :).
