Roll Call!

amber Wow! We've had 3 new TankAlongers join just this weekend! Word is spreading. Therefore, I think it's the perfect time to have a little WIP roll call to see where everyone is with their tanks. Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

I'll start. I'm making progress on Goddess, slow, but sure. I decided to knit her in the round, rather than in two separate pieces. I'm almost to the bust increases, should get there today. I haven't figured out exactly how I'll do the armhole cast offs at the divide, but necessity is the mother of invention. As soon as I get the batteries on the camera recharged I'll post a pic of progress. In the mean time, here's a pic of me in my completed Amber.

Please email me pics or description of your progress and I'll add it to the site.
