camisole
I have a cold and a spotty, puffy face so I wasn’t feeling too photogenic today but we took some pictures. The camisole looks more dramatic, and you can see the pattern more clearly, over a black top but I didn’t have a clean one.
(click to enlarge, closeups of stitch pattern below)
Name: umm, yeah, maybe I should steal Miriam’s camisole naming technique. But I think something will come to me. So far my ideas are Amaryllis, Eithne (although that has pronunciation issues I like both pronunciations and refuse to spell it Enya), Phoenix, Aurora and Firefly. None of those are really jumping out at me though so perhaps something else will appear.
Yarn: Laceweight 50% silk, 50% cashmere from PoshYarn.
Pattern: My own, it will be available one day. Probably in a few months time when I graduate, realise that I need a way to pay the bills and get through the backlog of patterns I have to write up. I’m very glad you like it though.
Needles: 3mm addis, which were surprisingly ok despite their bluntness. It really didn’t bother me much.
Now go and congratulate Kerry on the birth of baby Trinity :)

Aahhrggh, what is this cold thing? My aunt in Edinburgh has a horrible one too (I miss her). You look lovely, anyway. I like ‘amaryllis’ as a name, I had a similarly coral-coloured one a couple of years ago. Feel better soon!

Gorgeous! You don’t look spotty to me at all actually. I think I’ll just pester you until you write up the pattern. lol Just kidding.

It looks fantastic, as do you. I vote for “Eithne”, the name of one of my favorite cousins!

It’s wonderful. Roll on the day when I have the skill and patience to make, let alone design, something equivalent!

This is an adorable piece! Very wearable, especially compared to some of the more “lingerie” style knitted camisoles out there. Of the names you mentioned, Amaryllis stood out for me. Lovely! I hope you feel well soon.

Pretty. Are you going to publish the pattern?

You look lovely! And the camisole is great - the color and the pattern come together so well. I like the fit, too - high enough in the front that The Girls are not necessarily all over the place, and lower in the back for that delicious summer air circulation.
