Seasonally Inappropriate New Project - Strafford Tee (I)

In the same Knitscene magazine right next to the Windsor Cardi pattern is the Strafford Tee. Before I started knitting I never understood why anyone would want a knitted wool t-shirt. I would've looked at this pattern and thought, that's pretty, but I'd never wear that.

Now I get it. A knitted tee can be the most awesome thing ever, especially for that awkward time in New England when you're between seasons. Also a knitter I personally think sleeves can be the worst thing ever to knit. Maybe not as bad as thumbs on mittens, but not far behind. Knitted tee = no sleeves = awesome. It's like the distributive property of knitting.

Although this pattern is done in a wool/cotton blend I'm using 100% wool of the Andes in Daffodil. I like the yellow better and I already have plenty of material since I originally bought it for what became a failed cardigan attempt.

This is another top up pattern like the Windsor Cardi and by the same designer, so I'm really excited to begin working on it.
