My Knitting process!
This has been one tough yet rewarding time for me where i could escape and just knit. I learnt a new way to knit, how to make a Raglan sleeve top, how to make ribbing which is going to be shown below where its done to the open edges of your top in order for it to lie flat and not roll up naturally....oh yes, and how to make a top!!!!

Here is my process in pictures:
(Hope you follow)

This is the ribbing for the back of my top which is what i did for the back too and the cuffs.

This is the knitting as i went along. I decided to add rows in-between to break the orange in the front, back and sleeves. this will all be explained in the next post of my pattern i followed.

For the centre, sleeve and neck ribbling, i cut the existing ribbing into thinner pieces and worked with a smaller needle.

My way to keep track of my knitting and rows. i wrote down the number each time i knitted a row. this made me feel more sure with my knitting as i am very forgetful and get carried away a lot.

my back completed:D i kept this on the needle so i could transfer it onto my other needle when i did the ribbing for the neck.

NOW FOR THE FRONT :P

...and the front is done:D i was so proud when i finished the front and back.
and now to tack the sleeves

me stitching the sleeve onto the front and back...

Complete... for now. the easiest way for me to put the ribbing onto the neck, was with only one sleeve on. thereafter, i was able to add the second sleeve and see the finished product. this was so satisfying and exciting to see as i did it and was able to tackle the challenge well.

this is me in my top!!!! i am so proud of myself.

After knitting it, i added the finishing touches to my top....a necklace. this was to give it an authentic indian feel and to add a bit of me into the design. this chain was worn by me when i was younger when i performed and danced for the dancing school i attended.

My finished top! hooooray!!!!

until next time....
