In other words, trying to take a progress picture of my leaf tank by myself....One advantage to this type of construction is that I can try it on during the making of it without even having to take it off the needles. I wanted to see how it fits, as some of the comments I have seen on Ravelry suggest that the fit on this is small. So I went up to a 40" size as opposed to the 37" I would have made otherwise. So far, this seems like a good idea.
I took some pics, so you could see what I have managed so far. Taking pictures of black yarn is quite difficult.
Attempt number 1:
Attempt 2 was a bit better. At least, you can see where the knitting is and how the fit is:
I also attempted to get a picture of the join. Attempt number....umm, umpity billion:
AND number umpity billion plus one:
Not the most professional of pictures, but I hope you can kind of see how it is going.
I think the fit is good so far and I am rather pleased with how nice the join is. I was afraid I would get puckering. So far, no puckering. Hopefully, as the top gets longer, the weight of it will pull out any puckering it may be inclined to do.
