Your glasses seem to be picking up the colour of the top... they go very nicely.</p> <p>And haha, I thought you were TraceyLiz when I saw the thumbnail of you in front of the tree on The Wall.</p> <p>And haha, it's not possible to be an imposter around me. People go and come back IN REAL LIFE, and I don't register any gaps. It's always the present. Haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1513188 Tue, 30 Jun 2015 16:55:38 +0000 amiable 1513188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh - love it! &nbsp;Color is terrific, and your hair looks amazing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512462 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 12:16:21 +0000 Word Lily 1512462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>@Diana, I started swatching last night for a Maderia (<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/maderia">http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/maderia</a>) with a 60/40 hemp/cotton blend. I'll have to significantly re-figure if that's what I end up making, though, because I don't want a worsted weight tank top.</p> <p>I think one of my current bras is convertible to racerback, so that shouldn't be an issue.</p> <p>That Battleship one looks really similar to the Flow I had pinned, yes?&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flow-2">http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/flow-2</a>&nbsp;I'm having trouble seeing differences, actually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512404 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 08:23:28 +0000 Anonymous 1512404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You recycled another sweater to knit this? Wow! Very talented. I like the colour and draped neck very much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512387 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 06:50:43 +0000 Maneera 1512387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This top looks terrific! Love the color and the fit, and the neckline too.<br /> I think you're very talented so I'm excited to see what you knit next! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512337 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 02:43:38 +0000 Jaime 1512337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't have ideas for your next project, but this one looks terrific with your coloring and glasses! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512316 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 01:32:42 +0000 Diana 1512316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi! It's good to see you here again. I love the new handknit! Perfect fit on you. I've been very into the drapey, swingy knits myself lately so I think the volume is just great. </p> <p>I just started knitting this tank myself, with some modifications, in silk:<br /> <a href="http://www.purlbee.com/2015/05/15/notched-hem-tank-top/" rel="nofollow">http://www.purlbee.com/2015/05.....-tank-top/</a></p> <p>I think a racer back top would be fun. I've considered the coachella pattern myself - I think it would be super fun and fast. There's a version on Ravelry (the "shy scapula" version) with a wider back as well. They sell bra clips that turn a regular bra into a racer back, by the way.</p> <p>Eta: here's another pattern I just queued that you might like too:<br /> <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/9-fifty-shades-battleship" rel="nofollow">http://www.ravelry.com/pattern.....battleship</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512297 Mon, 29 Jun 2015 00:14:28 +0000 Suz 1512297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is lovely on you and very flattering with your hair! I love Beth Ann's idea to try an asymmetrical pattern next.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512294 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 23:54:41 +0000 Brooklyn 1512294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the top and the colour on you. Looks good with your jeans and matches your specs! I prefer fluid fit both because it is more fashionable and more comfortable in summer. I think sleeveless might be a good choice for the next one. I like the pattern with the asymmetrical hem and also the last one with the long rounded hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512260 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 21:48:46 +0000 Beth Ann 1512260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab creation!&nbsp; The color is lovely on you, and the neckline and angle sleeve frame you well and flatter.&nbsp; And recycled materials?&nbsp; That's even better?</p> <p>What about trying one with an asymmetrical hemline?&nbsp; Perhaps something Eileen Fisher-esque.&nbsp; I like a sleeveless design myself, but with a wide strap -- not like a tank.&nbsp; It's cool, but covered and looks nice on the arm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512232 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 19:09:56 +0000 Kirstjen 1512232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not a knitter, but I think the color is very flattering &amp; the shape looks nice. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-new-summer-knit-top#post-1512219 Sun, 28 Jun 2015 18:35:37 +0000 Word Lily 1512219@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><i>I feel a bit like an imposter because here I am posting and I haven't been around in ages (although I've lurked and read some the past few months, but enough about that, let's get to the clothes, shall we?&nbsp;</i></p> <p>I knit this top out of cotton reclaimed from a thrifted sweater. (details about the pattern, etc., on Ravelry, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/WordLily/nesoi-tee">here</a>.</p> <p>1) Does it work? I'm new to the volume-on-top thing, and this intentionally has positive ease.<br />2) What would you change, if anything? About the top, about the outfit?&nbsp;<br />3) I'm hoping to make at least one more summer top, and I can't decide. Should I go more fitted? Is a halter top (is that even the right term? racerback?) a really bad idea?</p> <p>Here are <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.pinterest.com/wordlily/summer-shirts/">the patterns I'm most considering</a>. </p>
