Stash Dash FO #11

The 11th finished object for Stash Dash, is the Still Light Tunic that I've been working on for almost exactly one year now.



It's not a hard knit, nor is it unwanted, but it does require some brain power with those increases and pockets. I knit the first part, the raglan, quickly. But when I got to the beginning of those pockets, I wasn't in an emotional state to focus on patterns and numbers. So it got tossed in the basket for a long while. 

After some months I picked it back up again and did the increases. I then knit both sleeves in the matter of 2 quiet night shifts at work, and got real tired of it again. By now it was winter, with only 3 hours of daylight, and all I had left was grey stockinette in the round for an eternity. Back in the basket it went.



I picked it up again for Stash Dash and this week I've been monogamous to it. I've got few WIPs left in the basket and this was by far the biggest one, so I figured I'd finish it before I cast on something new.

Now it's done, and I'm so very pleased with it. I can't wait for autumn to come, because I know I'll get a lot of wear out of this. There is nothing I love more than a grey wool dress to wear with colorful accessories. 

So far I've got 4568,6 meters/5000 meters for Stash Dash.
