I found this pattern on lovecrafts.com! It’s a Debbie Bliss pattern called ‘Alda’. A knitted tank top that’s perfect for this time of year. Looks great with a leather jacket. I’m currently in Malta- and it’s colder then I anticipated for the Mediterranean. I am regretting leaving this lovely warm yet stylish tank at home! More on landing in Malta- I ended up in an excellent row on the airplane with a woman who used to work for the UN and an insurance salesman. The quality of the conversation was unmatched! Especially with the woman who used to work with the UN. We discussed how being posted abroad for work and living your life as a series of smaller events tense assignments can make normal life feel jarring. How the time between assignments can feel uncanny and out of place. I also landed on Malta in the middle of a thunderstorm. It continued to rain and gust for 4 days after that… weather much improved now. Mild.

This Tank It is once again worked using Debbie Bliss’s ‘Merion’ chunky weight Yarn. As much as so adore this yarn- I’m going to have to take a break and knit something on a finer gauge next time. In other crafting news- I have acquired a lovely, If not slightly complicated cross stitch kit of Gustav Klimt’s ‘The Kiss’. Which is perfect for long evenings in my hotel room overlooking the sea.
