for your Summer Delight: the Ribby Shell! On the Left: the 2x2x3x1 completely ribbed version made from Tahki Cotton Classic. Ooh, La, LA! This was a pleasure to knit with - the cotton just slides through your hands and is silky and soft. I did not block this version - I wanted to just enjoy my ribs. It is very fitted, but not tight. On the Right: the Flat-paneled version made from Vittadini *Teresa*, a cotton microfiber blend. A strand of this yarn is like a tiny, tiny pantyhose wrapped around a cotton core. I blocked this version with a water spray to set the stitches and define the front panel. This version has a more relaxed fit via the flat-paneled front making it cooler, and a touch faster to knit..
MY FANTASY: If I could knit all the live long day, I would knit Ribby Shells for the rest of the summer and enjoy these yarns..
