Tubey!
I finally finished Tubey!
Eeeeesh, didn't that take a long time!
Although, as with everything I make, I'm not entirely happy with it. The stripes did what I thought they'd do, and widened my torso, and there's a lumpy poochy bit at the back where I did a LAME job of picking up stitches.
Ah, give it a few days, I'll like it then.
Pattern: Tubey, from Knitty (tm),
Yarn: Patons Jet (80% wool, 20% alpaca), approximately worsted weight, in the colours I thought best approximated those in the original pattern. It knits quite nicely, although sheds a teeny bit.
Notes: I hate circular needles. I used 10 balls of the grey to make the large size, and needed an extra ball of brown because the ball meterage is quite short - 74/m per ball. This is a lovely pattern if you aren't crappy at picking up stitches like I am.
I'm going to go buy my world cup yarn! Eeeee! Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi Oi Oi!

for future use when you pick up a stitch knit it then pick up the next knit it and so on.
The front view it looks GREAT!
It sure is cute, lovely colors together.
That looks really cute on you. I like the colors you picked, they go great together. So comfy-looking, too. Great job!
I really like it and it looks good on you. The puckering at the back will wash in and soon settle down. You picked fantastic colours for it.
It looks really good! Maybe the pouchiness will go away after a while, it really isn't that bad IMHO, anyways! Enjoy it! Love all the colors :)
i love your color choices. maybe you can block out the pooching in the back. at any rate, it looks very nice on you.
That looks great! Did the puckers block out? How do you like the fit? I'm thinking of making one, too. Later, later.
beatifuical! i love it!
i have seen some other backs of tubeys that did the same thing, but who cares! it still looks great!... it adds ... happyness and love. yes. happyness and love.
Great colors on you! What poochiness? :)
bee-YOO-tiful!!! The horizontal stripes are probably more in your eye than others' - I think you look sexy in it!!!
Congratulations!
