[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...

I have yet take on a 'big' project like this, it seems daunting and I'm such a slow knitter I'd probably end up wearing the thing when I retire lol.

You can do it! And if you can't get it done in time you can always come to my side of the hemisphere, summer starts in December for me ๐Ÿ˜†
