Well, this is the first remotely wearable warm weather garment I have created (I made up the pattern as I went along). I’ve made one other attempt at the halter top.
How did it turn out, you ask? Well, it depends. Do you like Geometric Shapes Tastelessly fully Stitches in Acrylic Across One’s Belly?
Remind me to tell you about that one sometime.
Anyway, the purple top was knitted in a nylon/cotton blend, varigated shiney blue and opaque purple. I like the pooling, to be honest. However, this thing is Flawed.
1. The back is supposed to go up to my shoulder blades. It sags.
2. The laces up the sides are uneve.
3. It’s a bit short. Not enought to be a belly shirt, but definately not long.
On the plus side, it’s full of summery promise, if not in the design, in the yarn.

Why, pray tell, is this beautiful top classified under “scary things”?
Here’s to Summer … but let’s have a bit of Spring first, please!
Brava, Bronach!
