Melting

The heat heard me asking if it had gone, and came back with a vengeance. Oof.

Fortunately I thought ahead and knit a tank top.

Pattern: Elvira (all grown up) by Sanne Bjerregaard
Yarn: Knitpicks Comfy Fingering Weight in Blackberry (with thanks to my local yarn friends for helping me break out of my green/blue color rut), 5 skeins
Needles: US1.5/2.5mm and US2.5/3mm Knitpicks fixed circulars and Addi Turbos, respectively
Buttons: from the stash, three small vintage metal seashells
Mods: Full modification notes are on Ravelry; I used a smaller gauge and added bust and waist shaping to keep it from looking like a pretty purple potato sack. Also, I sewed the back of the yoke closed (but added buttons anyway because come on, this is me we’re talking about here. I love buttons.)

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go lie in front of the fan and put all thoughts of wool out of my mind.
