Presenting Rocky kitten
Status Ondé: finished the back.
I have found the ideal backdrop for some Ondé pics. Tomorrow...?
Today I proudly present you the Rocky kitten. Last winter I knitted this top for my baby sister (whose 26th birthday we celebrate today!). I was inspired by a shocking pink top I saw somewhere on the web (Berocco's site?) but I used the fab eyelash Pep Print from Lana Grossa. I think I used the colourway 319. For the straps I used a tape in merino wool with something shiny mixed in.
How to do it: Check your gauge. Measure the bust. Cast on enough, but not more. You want this to fit closely. Knit a tube in the round, begin and end with a few rows of your strap yarn. Finish with a row of eyelets. Try on, estimate how long the straps need to be. Add them, using the eyelets, fasten securely, send to your rocker of choice. Match with black leather pants and a guitar.
Good thing/bad thing: people will want to pet you all the time, the knitted cloth feels very much like a kitten.
