In short -- What was I thinking?!!! Love all the colors; they're my favorites. But I am a woman who should never wear horizontal stripes, particularly on a tunic (theoretically hip-length) and certainly not stripes that are anything but muted! It looked so cute on the model on the pattern. That must be it.So, this was to be a turtleneck tunic. I found the completed front, back and sleeves. Basically, just had to finish the t-neck and sew it together, so I was pretty close. Not sure why I put it down, but I did!
After conferring with friends Suzanne and Kate, it was determined that this should never be a tunic sweater. I think I'll probably felt it and make placemats or coasters, maybe a tea-mat or a purse... of maybe, just maybe...
Yes! A cat bed! My orange boy seems to like it! And heaven knows, orange cats and navy sofas require something in-between!
Any ideas?
Ha ha! UFO or unfinished objects! I could never wear horizontal stripes either. Looks like your cat finds it quite appealing! :) xo

ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie! Thanks for visiting Bookstack :) It's always nice to see a fellow Michigander stop by. We're about 30 minutes from Ann Arbor (yes, we're Michigan grads - don't shoot me!) but I've spent a fair amount of time in Lansing too.
ReplyDeleteI think you've found the perfect use for your horizontal stripes!
He looks very much at home there.
If he's anything like my two dogs, once he settles in on a "blannie" it's his for keeps.
Wow..you knit well. Me, I'm just a plain jane knitter..meaning I do a lot of scarves.
