Except for a few ends to weave in (I always leave those for dead last Just In Case) the body of the Buckle Tank is DONE. Adding the sideways pockets and working up that pattern are what's next (that and a good strong blocking- sheesh does linen show tension imperfections).
The other day Mr. PieKnits glances over from gaming while I was working on this and goes "You've been working on that for Forever!" Yes. I know, thank you. It's been just one of those kinds of processes, two steps forward one step back. After a few do-overs with the straps I am finally happy with them though, that and the vintage buckles kind of mollify me.
The neckline and armholes are all finished with a knit-in I-cord edging that transitions into the I-cord bind-off. Picking up necklines and crocheted finishes are not my best friends plus it'd be tricky for this type of unconnected armhole so I'm lovein' this solution.
In other pattern news- my two MagKnits patterns are now available again. The Dad's Blueberry Pie pattern is available here on my site or as a PDF download through Ravelry. Zombies Need Not Apply is available as a Ravelry PDF download. Note: you do not need to be a Ravelry member to download the pattern.
Also, if you missed the Celtic Tote pattern from IK Winter 07 it is now available in their online PDF store!
Oh, my -- somehow I didn't realize that you're the brilliant creator of Zombies Need Not Apply! I made them for my niece and she was beyond thrilled -- you have no idea how high you've helped push my stock!
This is lovely, and the buckles are gorgeous!
