New (Under)Things

There is something about that special something underneath that sort of puffs up the soul ever so slightly.

Not that I know anything about that kind of thing. I have been wearing geek white--actually beige--cotton stuff for years and after I found this yarn from Yarn Botanika I decided I needed to make a change.

Viva la merino and tencel!

There's short row shaping for the you-know's and this stuff, even though it is worked on size 3 or 4 needles (can't remember and don't have the time to look at my notes) works out to be a worsted gauge. Yay!

Pattern available: Soon.

Yarn Kits Available: Soon.

Just know that this thing is warm and you can wear it under a blazer, a sweater, or even your sweats. Heck, you could wear it out and about. (And I'll consider writing instructions for thicker straps to cover the undergarments, too. Just write me a comment if it appeals. Otherwise, I'll leave it as is. Sizes XS to 3X.) Oh, and if you want a close up, you can find one here.

Have a relaxing weekend, friends.

Wider straps would be a great option to have! Love the top.

[Shell]

Very cute!! If you would also write up for wider straps, that would be great!

[jess]

woo, Wendy, another great pattern! I like the idea of wider straps (though I could mod a pattern myself for 'em). You look great in green! :)

[love tencel, I do.]

[Linda]

Gosh that's cute! I like the idea of it! Wider straps would be great too.

[pixie]

yes yes please write one that covers strappys!

[Angela]

Very delicate and girly...love it! Wider straps, to hide the you-know-whats that are covering the unmentionables, would be great!!!

[Sherri]

Great top!! And yes, wider straps would be fantastic!!!

[Jennifer]

Have a great weekend :)

PS - The wider straps is an awesome idea.

[Marsha]

Yes, wider straps. Even lingerie-style would be good. It looks lovely on you! Cute tuxedo pants and love your jade jewelry.

[Morgan]

Yes on the wider strap option. Being given ample in the boobage area thus having to wear well supporting bra's it will be a good alternative!

[Sara]

LOVE the cami - that yarn is beautiful! I'd love wider straps too!

[martina]

Love it! Yes wider strap option please for us bigger gals!

[YarnBotanika]

Wendy, it is looking great!! Look how many comments already on a holiday weekend!! I love the beads you used....I see what you mean now about the individuality part with that.... Being a big bazooma gal myself, I think I like the wider strap option too...!

[Wendy]

All the Kudos go to the gal who knitted the sample for me, Ariane. She went out and bought these beads before she finished it and sent it to me; she has a great eye!

[Tammy]

I love the tank but definetly need those wider straps to cover the underthings - those strapless models suck...

Love Chuck in the picture - he always makes me smile.

[Lori]

Please wider straps for us DD girls! : )

[fluttercrafts]

absolutely gorgeous, as always. Wider straps are a great idea, I love this.

[bunchkin]

How pretty! Please, please, please wider straps for those of us with big boobles. If I wear a shirt like that without a bra, the girls will be swinging by my knees!

[Mara]

Very cool tank. Yes to wider straps in the pattern please.

[Sarah]

That is such a cute top. I think having a wider strap alternative would be excellent.
