[WIP] Thea, a sleeveless top in cotton blend (lemmy.world)

This is the Thea top by PaulaM. I'm knitting it with Sandnes Line, which is a cotton/viskose/linen blend. This was supposed to be a quick knit to be worn this summer, but it took me ages to go through swatching - I just couldn't get gauge.
Anyway, there's still one and a half months of summer left and this baby is only half a strap away from top topology.

BTW, have you seen the VeryPink video on weaving in cotton ends? These ends are cut soo short! I don't know if I can bring myself to trust the process...

Ah I think the yarn I used was basically 50/50 so that makes sense. Maybe it's time to get over the trauma and start experimenting with less linen/heavy blends!
