All in a night's work...

From this...
to this in 2 hours


If you recall, I knitted Green Gable last year. This was one of my earliest tops, back when I did not know how to use DPNs, or owned 9" circulars. The sleeves did not come out well, and the body felt frumpy on me so I rarely ever wore this FO. After finishing the Leaf Yoke Top the other night, I figured why live with mediocrity? If I don't love something, I will never wear it and it would be a waste of yarn hanging in my closet. Not to mention that I loved this gorgeous leaf-green shade (unfortunately, my camera can't seem to capture its true color).

After patient frogging and detangling knots (man, I splitted so many stitches), I came to this conclusion...

an impulsively cast-on Leaf Yoke Top II!

Gurl -- you have amazing patience! (I don't think I could ever frogged a completed garment -- I would just donate it away and buy new yarn!)

BTW -- the original Green Gable does not look frumpy to me.

good for you for seeing the frogging through!
