SnB’s boob tube
Another pattern straight from Debbie Stoller’s lot. How do you like my boob tube?
Sorry about the quality of the pictures. I wanted to redo some nice ones, but I just don’t have the opportunity to do so at the moment. These are taken at the house, which is basically still a building site. But at least by now the plastic in the background has been replaced by windows 🙂
So, this is a convertible boob tube, since I can use it as a skirt as well. Although I guess I shouldn’t try that without leggings underneath…

What I liked
- This is a quick knit and the lace is pretty simple as well. Ideal telly-watching knit
- It was the first time I tried knitting bobbles. It’s pretty easy, all in all. I used the explanation in Debbie’s book, and it got me there right away
What I altered
- I didn’t use the the yarn from the pattern. Instead, I used Debbie Bliss Cotton DK. This changed my gauge a little, so I used the 3.75 mm/US 5 needles as the biggest ones and 2.5 mm/US 1.5 as the smallest
- I did an elastic bind-off, the same one I use for socks. I wasn’t too sure that this was the right decision in the beginning, but I’m pretty happy with it now
- I blocked the tube after I was finished. I’m not sure if that actually makes a difference for this type of yarn, but I did it anyway.
As for the rest, I hoped everyone enjoyed the holidays. I know I did! My hubby and I were delighted to tell our parents that we’re expecting a baby in July. Woot! I guess that may mean that some baby knits are coming up, people. If you have any nice suggestions, let me know!
