This is my latest knitting project: a vintage bathing suit pattern I found online called "water sprite." It's totally adorable and makes me think of Katherine Hepburn in The Philadelphia Story. The trick is that the yarn and needle sizing on vintage patterns is different. I went with 100% cotton yarn in a worsted weight and size 5 needles. It turned out to be a much bigger gauge, so I'm doing some major adapting to the pattern. Hopefully it will turn out okay. I found mixed opinions online about whether you can actually swim in a knitted bathing suit, but I'll probably line it and give it a try.
You actually tried to cookies!!! :) They look good.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the Bathing suit... I can't help but think it won't work well in water...
