[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...
If anyone asks tell them you didn’t say which summer, haha. Looks like that will be a really nice classic top.
My thoughts watching the video you linked: “Okay, split the plies, interesting, less bulky … knots? okay, I guess … SCISSORS??” I can see why that knot method could be more secure than weaving, since cotton doesn’t stick to itself like wool does, but woe to you if your knot comes undone!
I'm thinking about doing the knot thing and weave in the ends. Which means four times weaving per ball change. Fortunately is it a small project...
