maggie may

I'm cruising along on maggie, my linen drape top. The front is well underway and I've even sewn a couple of seams for a preliminary fitting.

Looks like maggie may just fit. It's going to be snug, for sure. The real question is whether it'll be too indecent for the playground set. One more shoulder and we should know....

More linen drape/shoulder news: Julia just finished short rowing the shoulders of her linen drape sweater. It looks like it's gonna fit her perfectly! Sarah is teasing us with a picture of one strap of her almost finished linen drape tank. I can't wait to see that one all done! Heidi's Stripes Go Round in linen drape top now has sleeves. Check out the beautiful colors she's using. And Cynthia reports that she's all done with her linen drape project. Think we can strong-arm her into sharing a picture with us??

Hi Alison, I love the color of that sweater. I used a similar color awhile back to knit a tank for my Mom. I'm really enjoying your blog! Had a 20 second knit-along of my own recently with my blog buddy Rachel ;-)

Now that my sleeves are in, I'm feeling a bit of apathy--there's about 360 stitches in a round. But seeing your progress is very inspiring! Yay Linen Drape-along!

Maggie looks great and what a wonderful color. The Tea Party is calling me.... I may just have to look for some yarn at my LYS this weekend and look for the needles. Maybe I will join ya'll next week in the tea party.

Maggie's looking beautiful! Yay Linen Drape-along is right.
