If you've been following this, you'll know that I've made a few adjustments to the number of stitches to eliminate a four stitch gap in the pattern which appears where the round joins on one side. I'm happy to report that the finished item does indeed fit, with no awkward gaps around the arms - something that is always a risk with a tank top - and that the pattern now lines up and repeats as it should.
There are some details on this that I really like, such as a really interesting stitch pattern along the arms and the neck
as well as a pretty panel at the back of the neck
I had hoped to photograph this while wearing it, but everyone else is out for the day, and I'm not good at taking self portraits.
As for the maybe at the beginning, I'm undecided if I'm going to leave this white, or if I should dye it. I don't often wear white because I usually manage to stain it but I still have my two original swatches so I can play with colours.
So what do you think? Dye it or leave it as it?
This is a beautiful shell! My inclination is to say that if you're going to pair it with cardigans or shrugs, to leave it white, but if you plan on wearing it by itself, dye it a nice light color that suits you.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hadn't thought of that. It will likely be worn under a cardigan...the office A/C is always too cold for me.
