It’s done! Made with Baby Bernat in cotton, using Bonnie Marie’s awesome pattern. It has a few mocha coffee spots on the front, and I’m a little alarmed at how the stripes in the bust kind of striped out into wide swathes of solid color, but it’s cozy and soft. I used the fabulous wide strap version, but I raised the neck in the back.
Okay, weird pose. I was in a hurry to go to work.
See the mocha stain?
Raised neck.
Oooh la!
Yeah on finishing the Cami! It looks great!
I must admit that I’m feeling very conflicted at the moment, Rachael. On one hand, I’m swooning all over your baby cK — it looks *so great*!! But dude, on the other hand, I want to cry because I’m so incredibly slow and it seems like I’ll never even finish my first one, let alone a whole series of supercute ones!! Oh, life is so unfair for the slowpoke knitter… [sob]
I can’t see the mocha stain. But that’s a good thing, right? It’s adorable! I see what you mean about the splotches of color along the bust line–like they’re reminders or something. “Boobs go here.” Maybe it’s because you were using baby cotton? Wow. I think I’ve had enough caffeine for today.
Hey…looks great! I refuse to feel bad about not even having cast on for my first ChicKami yet. Absolutely refuse. So there! 😛
Em – that’s EXACTLY why the stripe pattern is so alarming. Why did it have to go all funky RIGHT at the breast level? Ah, well. Can you go clubbing in a cotton tank?
You look gorgeous. It’s great to see a picture with the wider straps. I think I’ll be making another one.
Rachael, you look really cute in your new tank. I like the boob-stripes, and why not. I don’t really mind when varigated yarn makes splotches. What’s next?
Wow! Looks Super! You have inspired me to cast on for this version of the Kami! My first one with the icord straps turn out great too – Love the pattern.
Rachael! That looks fabulous! And what a cute picture!
