Sidetracked by a Tank Top

I have bought the yarn for the Sunrise Circle cardigan, downloaded the directions from Knitting Daily, and was all set to cast on, when I decided I'd like another tank top first. I had made one using a natural color linen blend last year, and it came out well, and I had enough of the same yarn in a pink shade for a second top. So now I'm more than half way through it already. This photo shows my progress as of three days ago - I've finished the back and have two inches of the front done tonight. I used a different lace pattern for the bottom edge this time. I love this color and this yarn.

I also did something I've never done before - I threw away (literally, right into the garbage can) the turquoise shrug I had almost finished. I just didn't like the yarn, didn't like the fit, decided I'd never wear it, didn't even want to give it away. So it's gone, gone, gone!

Hubster still can't believe I did that. I have a couple balls left - maybe I'll donate them or give them away - someone else might like this yarn.


I am a sucker for colorful yarn - I just bought only one ball of this last weekend. I may never knit with it - just add it to my collection of multicolored yarns. On the other hand, I'd love to see what a scarf made from this would look like. Maybe one row of Sitar, alternating with a row of a single color - dark blue might be good with it. We'll see.
