Last year at the summer fiber festival up in Kellyville I ordered several skeins of yard from a local dyer. It was a merino silk blend and so soft and lovely and drapey.
I decided to knit the Zaftig tee out of it, a lightweight summer sweater. It took me all year, but I finished it at the last minute in time to wear it to the fiber festival this year.
Here are Melody and I enjoying the fiber festival!
Here's the finished sweater blocking out. After wearing it the first time the neckline felt too floppy so I added a single crochet edge to the neckline just to gather it in a tiny bit.
I don't have any good pictures of me wearing it, but here's a dorky bathroom mirror selfie.
Overall I'm pleased with how this turned out. I love the yarn and the lace panel int he front. The neckline is still a little floppy for me, but not annoying enough to do something else about.
I love how this looks. That color is great (and it does look so comfy!).
