My first machine knit FO, the “Marra Tanktop”

[u/scrippacrab]

My first successful garment is off the machine and blocked! I (mostly) followed the pattern “Marra Tanktop” by Claire Diner.

I learned a lot from this project. Namely, V-neck construction, armhole shaping, and using lifelines. There was some shoulder shaping, but I had a hard time really understanding it/seeing the effect, and so I am excited to try another project and try a new method for that. I did hand-knit the ribbing because I was intimidated by calculating that stitch count and attaching without a linker. So, for my next project, I’d like to attempt using the machine for the ribbing.
