are you seeing my split stripe vision??

I adapted the sand and sky tank pattern for my knitting machine. one panel left, cuffs/collar, then finishing. though I'm doing a bit of the finishing now, like sewing the panels together.

I love colorblocking and I love stripes and I love love love how this is turning out!

secrets time: so the three panels I made. I realized that it was kind of big ESPECIALLY the arms eye. I counted my row gauge wrong and accidentally made it basically a large size instead of a medium at that point. I Could've done like longer cuffs round the sleeves after unraveling the tank straps a bit. but that wasn't good enough for me

i did shorten the straps, she's gonna look more like a crewneck which im cool with. but instead of stopping there I sliced her up, took about 12 rows out, and grafted the 39 stitches back together, on each panel. I was so scared when I cut even with lifelines in but it was alright!

my first attempt made twisted stitches on the top row. i might go back to fix that but Honestly it's on the back and would be covered by my hair most of the time. just one twisted row. if it bothers me later I now have the confidence to go back and slice and dice and fix it! but for now I'm alright.

oops.

I'm getting the hang of my circular machine. Blue grey one for me, orange yellow for my partner, and the green orange from the scraps :) used lion brand mandala (DK weight) which I think works better on my machine than worsted weight and gives a more stretchy hat

Tried blocking my work for the first time! Unfortunately, as soon as I unpinned it it curled right back up. I think its bc I just sprayed it with water instead of soaking it.

Might crochet around the edge if that doesnt work
