I finished the Luminos Tee last Wednesday. I'm very happy with how my yarn choices look, and the fit of it.
it should be a perfect summer top - the main yarn is partly linen. The only problem was that it's a summer top, and everyone who has knit one has lovely photos of them, wearing this little top in the sun. It's current 10 degrees and raining here, so that was not going to happen. I am asking myself why I made this in the middle of winter. i don't know, it just really wanted to get on my needles. I decided to see if i could style it as a slipover, and I really like it this way.
We took this photos at my parent's house, in front of their enviable book cases.
I also got some 'with book' shots. Someone on BlueSky was sharing a rumour that people are more likely to get approved if they have bookish photos. I don't know about that - I rarely get declined, my theory is that the earlier you request it the more likely you are to get a book. It might also be a ratio thing - my ration of reviews to requests hovers around 95 per cent, which i think is higher than many others. Anyway, I think this photo is cute, and I'm going to switch it out for the random photo of my standing on a bridge showing of my Swancho, that was my previous avatar. Leon and I are going to Queensland next month, so hopefully I'll get a chance to wear it (and get some photos) with my shoulders out.
You may notice i haven't written much about the knitting. It's a really interesting construction, it was really fun to knit and I followed the pattern pretty much exactly. Very fun, very satisfying.
