Linea

I cast this on at the weekend. Then I swatched it. Then I frogged and cast it on again. I think there's a lesson in there somewhere.....

The pattern is a pretty top which, in this Florida heat, I will probably get a lot of wear out of.I'm making it with Rowan's Bamboo Soft, which I have 10 balls of in my stash. Hope it's enough. The top of the pattern also calls for Elann Esprit, held together with the Bamboo. I guess if I have to get more bamboo, the dyelot difference may be a little less noticeable, with another yarn mixed in.

Here's a close up of the stitches. They bamboo yarn is very splitty indeed - it's almost like working with 8 teeny yarns held together, and not very well at that. It is very light though.

Edited to Add: the pattern is called Linea, by Kirsten Kapur and can be found at her site www.throughtheloops.typepad.com
