Entrelac and some yarn p0rn

Ok so since I was unable to figure out entrelac on my own, I signed up for classes at Lettuce Knit. So here are my efforts so far:


And some yarn I picked up while I was at the class - I can't go into a yarn store without buying something! 2 skeins of Socks that Rock in the Downpour colorway and a skein of Handmaiden Seasilk.


In sewing news I finally finished the shirt I've been working on for way too long:


This shirt is the first one I've made and my first major sewing project. I found the directions very confusing to follow and while I like the final result, the fit is not that great. I can't seem to raise my arms past shoulder height. I am not sure if it is a problem with the pattern or a sizing issue.

Project Summary:

Fabric: 100% cotton fabric - brown Batik fabric for the main body and green cotton for the accents. All fabric bought at Fabricland
