It's a hot one!

The weather I mean, not the F.O.!

Roudabout Leaf Tank from Norah Gaughan's Knitting Nature.  Made with Berroco Lullaby (87% DuPont Tactel Nylon/13% nylon blend).  Knit up on a 5.5mm needle.  The yarn I chose is completely wrong.  Much too sproingy and puffy.  This really needs a silk or linen blend.  I also did not read the errata before I started and continued the leaf pattern around the top.  The shoulders look a little long and I'm unsure if it's because they are or that the fabric is stretching a little more than usual as it's still a bit damp in this photo.  I'd like to try this again in the right yarn.  Started on June 16th, 2007 and completed July 10th, 2007.

ETA:  I know it's fugly.  It's okay!  Tell me about it!

Now, what next!?

I think it takes a person with a special style to wear it!

It may not be fabulous, but you are. Yay Ande's hotness! :)

damn, that's such a nice colour on you, though. Are you considering unraveling it and using the yarn for something else? I like the idea of the construction. Who knew that drape would be an important consideration?

Hey....
