Your WIP is coming into form. Guys please know that every compliment lands smack in the middle of my heart and I appreciate you all, but, in my eyes I am still new at this knitting thing. I am still learning, I am still afraid to try and I still tell myself “girl you can’t make that!” SOO when I do exactly that!! I am overwhelmed with a sense of pride.
Last year if not prior, I ordered this cotton tank top to make for my daughter from The Yarn Company. It was an exclusive kit that came with the pattern and the yarn. The pattern is called Irini’s Summer Seas Tank by Irina Polidnenko. The yarn is the Soft Cotton from Tahki Stacy Charles Yarn.
When I first saw it I figured I could do it, I got the pattern and ran in the other direction; therefore it has been sitting in my stash for quite sometime. While stash diving the other day I came across it and figured I’d give it a try. 
I was so afraid of the holes and they are quite easy to create. I tell you that mind is powerful! It is a FACT that what I tell myself I can’t do, I don’t do. Self talk it super important. I have to be my own voice of reason. This baby is working up very fast and nice..I am so very proud of the outcome. I have now finished the back and am now  working on the front.
The pattern is pretty easy to follow..a few places I could have used clearer explanation, but I figured it out. With each project I get a little better and I am so very proud of that. Can any of you relate to that feeling?
Knit on my fiber friends…knit on

First of all the color is beautiful, second I know that you can do ANYTHING you put your mind to, so I’m not surprised that you are flying through this pattern. Finally, I can’t wait to see the finished product and hope that it will be available in the store at some point. So proud of you!
Thank you Nae!!!!!
Loving the colors here and in the cowl/caplet yesterday! You do such beautiful work, never doubt you can do anything you can set your mind to!
Thank you for always reading and commenting 😘😘
Ditto above comments! Self-doubt is natural but overcoming it is super-natural!!! You inspire me no end and even though I can’t remember how I found you and your blog, I am endlessly glad I did!
😘😘😘😘 thank you for always reading and commenting it matters
Can any of us relate to ‘that’? Hah! Everytime! But one does get more confident that we can figure out new things with everything we try. However, there are some things I don’t do, not because I don’t think I can do them, but because I really don’t like doing them, like figuring out wiring-electronics and bookkeeping. Someone else is welcome to those. 🙂
That pattern looks pretty cool!
Lol yes!! Someone else can do those things! I love it!
So many times I’ve second guessed myself over somebody’s oddly written directions. It is totally normal to feel this way at times. I’ve managed to get through spots like this with coffee, my lys before it closed, a clear mind, and usually a project time out. You chose a beautiful color and it is a simplistically really awesome looking top. I bet she will love it!
thank you!! She is watching as it comes to life and she is just as excited as I am!
Beautiful work. I also have talked myself out of trying new projects sometimes. But then I see other peoples projects and that inspires me to try, and most of the time there’s a video somewhere that helps! Can’t wait to see the finished project.
Thank you I am almost finished and so excited!
I just love how you knit beautiful trendy things. It makes me want to try something a little (OK, just a little) out of my comfort zone. You know, more color and even more style. 🙂
Do it! Lol if I can anyone can trust me
But you seem like a pro!
Not hardly! Thank you though 😋
