I had an excellent week with three FO's. Already blogged about Reverb and now posting my version of Thyone. Visually it is very appealing and I think it works well with a bright dominant colour on the shoulders and cuffs , less so on the bottom hem as it shortens the upper body.
So instead of ribbing in fuchsia I've continued downwards with the grey and just added two cute little pockets and the pink just peeping through. I love finding new constructions and it was a joy starting the collar and shoulders on this one. If you purchased the pattern you know what I mean.. Just be warned that with this type of construction you are well off with a slight negative east on the shoulders width to avoid puckered shoulders points. I used merino silk singles from Hedgehog fibres in Petrol (the grey ) and Poison (fuchsia). The dye is amazing but no more single ply purchases for me- the yarn is going fuzzy as you knit which is disappointing to say the least. The buttons are great find from an Israeli Etsy seller- mother of pearl in smoky grey - perfecto !
Those photos were taken my birthday ... :-))
