This was a quick and easy knit. I finished it in about two weeks time (holiday season). Irony has it that it was finished on one of the coldest days we had this winter. So this top will remain in my closet for a while to wait for warmer days but I’m very happy with the result.
The armholes are finished with a very narrow i-cord and the hem is double. Both are not as described in the pattern, but in knitting I do the same as in sewing: changing things to my preference or figure.
I like it so much that a second one, not striped, is on the needles already.
Yarn used: the white and blue is Knitting for Olive silk, held double. The green is colourway "Dusty artichoke", 1 strand of silk and one strand of cotton merino. Earlier last year I made the Sylvan tee with this greenish colour. When I bought the yarn I had another project in mind that needed more yarn, so I ended up with quite a bit of that colour. Most of this used up now.
