It's been one week since the official cast on for luvinthemommyhood's Tops, Tanks, and Tees Knit Along and I couldn't be happier with my progress! My needles have been on fire and I've burned through the yoke and a huge chunk of the body on my Gemini Tee.
I've made one minor modification to this top. I wanted to knit 3/4 length sleeves which requires the sleeves to be more fitted. Making this change was simple. I followed the pattern exactly as written, but stopped increasing between my sleeve markers when I reached 60 stitches.
If you would like to make a Gemini with fitted sleeves here are some handy sleeve stitch counts to follow:
56 (60, 66, 74, 80, 88, 94) sleeve sts
. . .
Are you participating in the TTT KAL? How are you making out so far?
jane! you are so speedy!!! i love it! the colour is fantastic! xo
ReplyDeleteI've knitted a Gemini tee a few months ago and I'm very happy with it! I can't wait to see how it looks with the sleeves modification. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's fantastic! I am so glad you were happy with it :) I'm excited to complete mine, I think it will got a lot of wear!
DeleteInterested to see this with fitted sleeves! Did I already say that before?? I think I did... well I'm saying it again!
ReplyDeleteI've been curious about fitted sleeves since I finished my first Gemini! I think I'm going to love this version!
DeleteI am also knitting a Gemini for TTT! I am just past the lace part. Bring on the stockinette!!
ReplyDeleteI am loving the stockinette! After my last project it's sorely needed... I feel like I can knit this in my sleep!
DeleteOoh, I'm excited to see your version! I'm participating in the KAL as well, and it's a much-needed kick in the pants for some new summer knits. I'm really enjoying it!
ReplyDeleteOh boy, I can't wait to see what you're knitting for the KAL! I always race through knit alongs, it's so fun to knit with others and it's great incentive to finish a project on a time line!
DeleteYour Gemini is looking amazing. And I haven't mentioned recently how much I love your hair! I'm about due for a new look, I might need a super cute graduated bob like you.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tanis!!! I am absolutely loving every minute with your yarn, I can't believe it's taken me so long to finally knit with it. I swear TFA just knits it's self, because I can't believe how quickly this project is coming together.
Delete...and thanks for the compliments on the do! I am really enjoying short hair, I don't know why I was so afraid to cut it all off!
Wow, that was fast! It's going to be SO pretty in that color, and I love the Gemini's I've seen with 3/4 sleeves. And, like Tanis, I have also been admiring your bob lately!
ReplyDeleteI've been loving the 3/4 length sleeve Geminis too! ...people's mods are totally what inspired me to jump on that band wagon.
DeleteAnd thank you too for the compliments on my hair!!! I just lost my hairdresser to the travel bug and nearly considered growing it rather than trying to replace her, lol.
