habu take two
More trip knitting!
I took the Peter Pan bus back from NYC ($15 one way, you can't beat that!) and knit all the way on my fabu habu tank. On the train ride down, I'd ripped the three or four inches I'd already knit. I had to admit that it was going to be too small and took advantage of the fact that I was in the quiet car where I could rip it out in the most relaxed and calm surroundings possible. I cast on for the second time and started knitting again during our little KnitNY Sunday brunch knitting session. It was great having the time on this trip to sit and relax, rather than running from store to store to store the whole time. Most of the yarn stores are closed on Sunday anyway, so if you're a yarn junkie that means it's time to knit what you bought on Saturday!

waist shaping is good
By the time I got home Sunday night, I'd made it up to the armholes on the back. As our bus approached the city, the eve before the Democratic Convention started, we travellers caught a long glimpse of the opening night fireworks downtown. What a nice way to return home. And speaking of politics, here's a pic from the weekend of some political commentary Soho style.

right on!

Wow, you got so much done on habu! I'm impressed. You'll be done with that one in no time. Hope you're surviving the convention crowds. At least you got the good half!
Habu looks great so far. Is that your own design? What would we do without waist shaping. I remember when I was younger, I'd wear everything in an extra large. It was the style. Now everything is fitted.
:)
I was amazed at how much I got done on the bus ride home!
Eilene, I think I will be inventing something more my own, by the time I'm finished with this top. The back is from the Rebecca tanks I linked to before. But I think I want the front to be quite different. I'm just going to wing it when I get to the neckline - sort of knit by feel, you know: start neckline...hmmmm... feels like... now! Wish me luck.
