A Little Progress

I’m fighting the urge to re-knit this knit along tank a size larger.  I know stockinette curls under and that I’ll be adding edging and a band to the bottom, but still… it just seems so… pre-teen sized.

But I’m sticking with the pattern because my brain knows it makes sense.  I know that once those sides are seamed, it will smooth out and fit.  If not, there’s always the aggressive blocking method a dry cleaner once used on a sweater of mine after he shrank it: I think he and his brother tugged on it like a wishbone.  Though that blocking experience ended with me receiving a reimbursement, I feel certain a more gentle blocking method will go a long way on this tank.

Remember how I said lots of us in this knit along find our animals sneaking into our photos?  I swear I didn’t place my cat in this as a prop.  She jumped up there as I was taking pictures.  She really does hover.
