Garment: Cap sleeved top
- At time of completion
Fibre: Silk
Date completed: May 2009
Tension: knitted at the recommended tension
Stitch: Stocking stitch with cable and lace panel
Washing: Handwashed, rolled in towels and dried flat.
Worn: Constantly
Result:
This top is worn a lot. It is still looking great with minimal pilling only in areas that get rubbed a bit. The pills are easily removed when washed. The size hasn’t changed since the first wash so it has held it’s shape really well. I just measured it and got the following:
hip – 38”
waist – 32”
bust – 36”
My ravelry entry that was written on completion and blocking says the following:
After washing and laying out to dry:
Circumference at
hip – 38”
waist – 32”
bust – 36”
You can’t fault that! The photo below doesn’t look like an almost 4 year old top does it? The colour difference is because the old photo is under artificial light and the new photo is in daylight.
This is very beautiful. It makes me want to use this yarn (don’t tell my stash yarns).
