Ta-da!
It’s finished!
I really love it. I would have passed up this yarn had I not seen the finished project. But I have to say, it’s one of my new favorite summer yarns.

Stats:
Pattern: Split-Neckline cap-sleeved tee from the book Fitted Knits by Stefanie Japel.
Yarn: Invito Multicolor in color Joan (pattern called for 8 balls, I used 5) and Pima Tencel (pattern called for 1, I used 2.)
Needles: Addi Turbos US 7 32″
Use: for me!!
Changes: I decreased the amount of stitches picked up around the keyhole, it seemed to lay better on me this way. I also found it necessary to pick up two stitches in the underarms to avoid holes. And there were a few wording issues for separating the sleeves. Anyone who’s ever knit a raglan sweater can easily fix this.
Now I’m just wondering if I can get away with knitting one in every color?

That looks great on you! I’m glad to hear that about the yarn requirements, I really thought they seemed high for the main color. But wow – 3 balls off? That must be an error, perhaps you should email the author and let her know?

You look fabulous woman! That is a very flattering sweater. I can’t believe how far of the yarn requirements are.
