I quickly realized I probably didn't have enough yarn for the whole top, though, so I added a deep scoop neck and left it a bit shorter than I would have otherwise.
As seems to be the case
often lately, this turned out a little bigger than I had planned. I really need to size down and allow the knitted fabric to stretch with my body. I think I was spooked by this
top, which is a bit snug.
Anyway, I like how it looks layered over a longer cami. I wore it today with
these cropped pants. I've been avoiding wearing these pants since one of the waistband hooks had come loose. 5 minutes and I fixed that. I forgot how much I like the fit of these and the fact that they stay up. This would have been a perfect Me-Made-May outfit. :-)
I really enjoy the feel of this cotton,
Bio-Sesia. It is very soft, not that crisp, straw-like feel I sometimes associate with 100% cotton yarn. This is super comfortable to wear and really feels like a tee shirt. I would definitely knit another top out of this. The only downside was that it was a bit split-y, meaning that it was easy to split the yarn when making a knit stitch - not good.
The lattice section is very easy and lovely. I'd like to make another version of this top, more fitted and longer, with the boat neck as designed. I just need to get more yarn next time!
I love this sweater!! The whole outfit is perfect...did you make the pants? I find it funny that you haven't been wearing them because they needed a 5-minute fix; I do the same thing! :-)
ReplyDeleteLisa, yes I made the pants. I don't like mending even the things that I made in the first place!
