Beige Fair Cotton Walking on Air Top

 

This is another project to put my yarn remnants to use. I had three whole Katia Fair Cotton Yarn left from a project I made 4 years ago. 

I found this pattern online, for free, in the Drops website and I loved it.

I just followed the instructions straight, no modifications. I made an L size in 4 mm circular needles. 

It took me all summer to knit it, and when I finished, the weather had turned and I could only wear it one day in September. I will have to wait till next summer to see if I wear it enough. 

I like it quite much, and I think it will be lovely with anything denim as bottoms, but, I feel my tits are too big for this and the top keeps sliding backwards, and consequently, the front bottom curves upwards. We'll see if it is comfortable and easy to wear.

Cigarrette Jeans

 

I bought this indigo middle weight elasticated denim in Denim.lab. It was in my stash for three years before I made up my mind as to what to do with it. The fabric was only 70 cm wide, and I'd bought 2 meters, so the material was tight. 

I decided to make some cigarette short pants using the Ginger Middle rise Jeans pattern, by Closet Core Patterns, which is spot on for this kind of middle weight elasticated denim. 

No modifications made, except cutting the bottom short, but the fabric was so tight that I had to make narrow pockets, specially one of them. When I realized it was no good, I modified the second one using the lining fabric, and that one is better. Anyway, it is only wrong if I use it. Pity, but... they are very becoming and comfortable.
