presenting honeymoon cami!
i finished the honeymoon cami this weekend! it did not go as smoothly as i had hoped, i ripped it off many times due to my own carelessness in following the pattern. it could be better, but i'm happy with the way it had turned out.
this is a very fast project, the ribbing at the bottom is very simple yet elegant! i was going to make it to be more elaborate but opted not to. the body shaping is quite straight forward but does all the magic! i especially love th deep V neckline back and front. the yarn i used is perfect for this project. the garment is quite light after it's finished, and i love the color a lot!
i can not wait for the summer to be here so i can wear it to the beach!
if you would like to make this cami, there's a knitalong going on!

I just have to say - I love the cami, but I especially love the location you've had your photo taken. I grew up in Minnesota, but have been living in Los Angeles for a good chunk of time. In fact, I'm currently sitting in the loft of a 2nd story apartment listening to the sounds of Popo sirens and helicopters circling nearby....

I love the cami in linen drape! I have some in my own stash, so I may just have to make another in it eventually. You look stunning!

I made a honeymoon cami for my best friend and really enjoyed it. Seeing yours makes me want one for myself. I like the linen drape a lot. It fits wonderfully and is very flattering on you.

That looks awesome on you.. You did a great job! I looked at the pattern and it looks really complicated to make... I don't think I am quite there yet... but, just so you know, I really admire your work!

I love your honeymoon cami! I have a ton of Rowan Linen Drape in my stash. When I saw that a suggested substitution was Linen Drape, I had to look for an example. How many skeins did you use? What length needles?
