\nYarn:<\/span>\u00a0 Spirit Trail Fiberwroks (50% Silk, 50% Wool)

I took the handknit pattern from Knitty, and constructed appropriate machine knit instructions for the gauge I got with this yarn.\u00a0 I made the front and back on my Brother KH930 machine, hand-manipulating the stitches to make the leaf-lace pattern in the front (and the eyelets).\u00a0 I finished it up with some crochet picot edging on the neck and armholes.\u00a0 It took just under 2 skeins of yarn — something less than 800 yards!<\/p>\n

I’m calling this the “watercolour” top, because the way the colours in the Spirit Trail yarn ebb & flow really reminds me of working with watercolours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
