Imbat is finally live, and I cannot be prouder. This is a simple, cropped sweater, with classic lines. However, those lines are created with a lot of attention to detail, and with clever shaping and techniques. It is not difficult to make it, but each part was designed with a lot of thought. It is designed with negative ease for a snug fit, is perfect worn over a dress or a short sleeved top. Knit from the bottom up with simple lines and deep ribbing, it creates its own shaping to fit to your body. The modified dropped short sleeves are easy to fit with minimal sewing. Even if you are not a typical crop top wearer, it might become your go-to garment for transitional weather. Slip it on to ward off the evening chill of spring or summer, or wear it as a layering piece in autumn or winter. I think you will enjoy making and wearing it, as I did.

My GAL has been fun, but not as productive as I would have liked. There are only a few more days, but I have only finished one hat, one slipper (still to be blocked), and begun a second hat. I am hoping to have the second slipper mostly finished by the end of the month and event. I will work on the hat when I am not doing "work" knitting in January. These are both really fun patterns, though, and I am happy to be making them. The adorable slippers are from Jenise Hope, the Persian Curled Toe Slippers, and the hat, is the Rime of the Ancient Beekeeper Hat from Julia Decker. It is truly a beautiful hat, and a great introduction to circular brioche if you have never done it.

Unfortunately, I have gotten hardly any reading done this past week.
