Presenting my finished top for the Designer’s Challenge Super Challenge!
It fulfills all three of the requirements – it is clearly a top, it has origami folds at the neck, and I talked about the stripes in the last post.
The origami neck detail is probably my favorite part. It is formed out of two long strips of garter stitch that are folded together. They spiral around each other when sewn to the top, and create a really interesting neckline.
I’m excitedly working on grading this pattern so that it will fit all sizes of knitters instead of just me. At some point, I hope to release it as my first ever top/sweater pattern! Stay tuned for updates.
Wow! That’s beautiful. You’ve done a wonderful job.
Thanks so much! I’m hoping to have the pattern out soon.
Lovely sweater! And beautiful blog! I’ll be following your work.
Thank you so much for all the compliments
Very cute!
Thanks so much!
enjoyed reading your blog — I found it when I saw your beautiful shawl on knitty this morning. congradulations
Glad to hear you liked it!
Very cute top, I love the colors, the different stripe lengths, and of course, the collar!
Thanks! I went through a couple of test runs on the collar, but I finally finished with something I loved.
Your blog is going to see a lot of traffic starting today! Congrats on your fab designs.
That’s true! Thanks so much.
I love it!
I agree with Linda–you are going to have lots of new online friends–the shawl in knitty (and everything else I’ve seen here) is just beautiful–you obviously have a gift!
That’s the great thing about the knitting community – everybody is so encouraging. Thank you!
It is a really impressive design and congratulations on your knitty shawl – one of the more beautiful I’ve seen. I will really look forward to watching for your designs.
Thank you so much. I’ve got a couple more designs in the works so I’ll keep them coming!
