spidery tank

I finished up the Spidery tank late Monday night and by the time I had dealt with all of the fiddly details on the neckline and straps, I almost through it out the window in frustration. In the tank's defense, I was up too late, really tired and should have stopped while I was ahead. The only problem that I ran into with this pattern was that I needed to add about 3 inches to each strap to lengthen it. This is definitely not a big deal and a very simple modification, but when I operate on little sleep, it's not a pretty sight. On the bright side of things, I did manage to watch Conan's Tonight Show debut, which was hilarious!

This was a fun project to knit and I really enjoyed working with addi turbo lace needles for the first time. Everything slides so quickly on those needles and they do help me knit a lot faster because I'm not always sliding my project around the circular needle. I don't normally wear tops like this, so I'm still getting used to the style, but I do like the idea of being able to wear knitwear in the summer.
