I love the sripe in those pants, too--just a touch of "marching band, military" vibe to such fanciful pants.

You have made a piece of art. The color looks fab with your skin tone. My favorite details are the non matching sleeves with the ruffle on one side. I'm in awe of your skills as always! I like the asymmetrical hem as is but see that it would be fun to ruche it as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-asymmetric-handknit-linen-top-with-a-ruffle#post-1336987 Thu, 21 Aug 2014 17:12:54 +0000 Diana 1336987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had planned to wear this new top today (since I finally decided after 2 weeks to iron the ruffle) so it's just a coincidence that it matches the theme of today's blog post!&nbsp; The top is knit in linen yarn and has a lot of funky, arty details - the asymmetrical hem, the two different sleeves, the ruffle sleeve detail, etc.&nbsp; The original design (last pic) shows the top worn with the longer side ruched up - mine unfortunately will not stay that way because I knit a size up for a more fluid fit.&nbsp; I may add a little drawstring or something inside so that I have the option to ruche it up.&nbsp; (I like the long, asymmetrical side but it will be more versatile if <i></i>I have the option to shorten it as well.)&nbsp; </p> <p>Paired with my crazy neon floral pants.&nbsp; The greens don't actually match (the pants are a lot more neon) but hopefully they still go with each other.&nbsp; Also, I swear my bra does not show through that much IRL.&nbsp; </p> <p>top handknit by me, Michael Kors pants, Naot sandals, Longchamp bag.</p> <p>Ravelry links for knitters:<br />project: <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/hane" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com/projects/akabori/hane</a><br />pattern: <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hane" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/hane</a></p> <p> </p>
