Stormy Wildflowers

Just finished!

Basic tee shape, my pattern adapted from a combination of a favorite RTW tee along with those alterations I have learned I need to make, to wit:

1.  One inch of length was taken out at the center back waist to account for a bit of a flat/sway back, This was done by adding short rows from the center to the sides so that the front and back side seams would be the same length.

2.  An inch of length was added at the center back near the top of the armholes, before the shoulder shaping.  This was done using short rows.

3.  About 1 1/4 inch was added at the center front at the bust line, to add length to go over the bust and keep the sweater from pulling up.

Yarn:  Linie 125, Maya, from On-Line.  This yarn is discontinued and is 45% cotton, 45% acrylic, and 10% rayon.  I had 720 yards in 8 skeins and I used 7 of them.  I needed extra yarn to complete the sleeves.  The colored stripes are Dolcino by Trendsetter, and acrylic and nylon microfiber, which happened to coordinate and knit to the same gauge and drape as the Maya.

I love this tee.  The striped sleeves keep it from being boring, it is light and comfortable and fits well.  I'll try to get pictures of the sweater on me tomorrow or over the weekend
