All about knitting, crocheting, and the things I would rather do instead of working.

Kelly, how do you like it? (the knitting, the wearing, etc.!)
I've got a passel of Incredible all set to knit up a tank (mine will use a Knit It! mag pattern with a great big cable up the center front), and I'm very curious how you found it to work up.
Hi honeybee, I loved knitting the Incredible, it is really fluid and the colors are so pretty. I used size 13s and it worked up superfast (I think I did the whole back of the tank in about 2.5 hours). The knitted fabric is not as soft as I would have hoped. The ribbon is soft on its own but when you knit it up, it almost gets kind of "crunchy" because the ribbon gets smushed together. I haven't worn it yet but based on how the tank felt when I tried it on, I will probably wear a camisole underneath. Good luck with your tank and thanks for posting :)
