Basalt Tank beginnings

Now that I’ve finished a couple of major projects (Green Gable photos to come - my general feeling is: eh.), I’ve started something new - the Basalt Tank from Knitting Nature. Armed with a number of corrections and tips from the knitalong, I’m ready to rock.

Except that I’ve frogged this thing about a million times due to silly kelly mistakes. I’m knitting the hexagons in the round, and the most recent cast-on had a twist in it, so I get to rip again. I’ve never done the join-in-the-round-twisted before, so awesome.

I’m using Jo Sharp Soho Summer in the Currant color. $28 bucks a bag from Webs last year, score! I have another bag in an olive green (that is currently a partially-knit Somewhat Cowl. It’s a bit splitty, but whatever, I’m all about the cheapo yarn!
