We're going out, you and me, baby!
I finished the lace camisole! I love it! Here are the front, back and detail shots:
And of course, me in it:
Pattern: Lace Camisole from Vintage Knits by Sarah Dallas
Yarn: Patons Grace in #60008 Natural
I decided to do this all in cream. I had pink and green cotton but somehow they weren't the same tone for the cream; they were less pastel-ly and more neon-like. I think I made the right choice. It took a while to do the lace trim, and I noticed this extra eyelet (aagh!) just before I was to block the front, so I frogged back to that row. The narrow ribbon holds the lace trim up, although it still curls quite a bit. I'll have to starch or iron the trim, perhaps that will take care of that problem.
Becky asked whether this came from Sarah Dallas' book or Rowan 35. This came from Sarah Dallas' Vintage Knits, which I absolutely love! I don't have the current Rowan magazine, but judging by the picture, they look the same. The lace trim might be slightly different.
BF hasn't seen this yet, I think I'll wear it tonight when we go out! Probably with a strapless bra; those eyelets shift around when I move!
Love your lace camisole - it looks great in cream. You did a great job!
It is absolutely stunning. What a great job you did. I love the cream with the beautiful ribbon threaded through. It looks wonderful on you!
The lace top looks wonderful! A perfect thing to wear on a warm day. I love it in the cream color. You could wear it with almost anything. Very nice work, MJ!
Wow, now I really want to knit this! It looks so pretty on you! What a great job.... Your BF is definitely going to like it!!!!
How did he like it? It's perfect with your gorgeous skin. What's next?
