the blue blog archives: R2 take two

I took the Acela down to NYC and knit the whole way down on my R2 tank. I stayed with the idea of making another tiny tank and solved the naked issue by knitting the R2 paper yarn down on US7's. I didn't want this tank to look exactly like my other tiny tank, so I added some ribbing at the bottom and about an inch in ease for a looser fit.

I like it. I really do! I'm excited about this tank now. I'm gonna need another ball of the yarn, but I think the final result will be pretty cool and well worth the trouble of hunting down more yarn.

You're so innovative! I can't wait to see this new non-naked tank. :)
