Silky green beautifulness

Cami is finished! Ravelry page
Pattern: Lace Nightie from Interweave Knits
Yarn: Mei Mei Bamboo Silk, color Light Green

Mei Mei Bamboo Silk mint green lace nightie


I adore it, I cannot say how much I adore it. The yarn, the pattern, the quickness (took just over 2 weeks). It's splendifferous.

More below the cut.


I kind of threw out the pattern near the end, because I was getting too caught up in the joys of vertical bust darts that I forgot to BO for the back, so the back is slightly higher and then I had to compensate for that by binding off on the sides more quickly, or else I would end up with a camisole with a neckline more like a turtleneck.

But I forgive it for its imperfections, because it's beautiful and I love it. Oh, mint green silky thing of beauty, how I love you.

    I love the soft green color, and the fact that it is sleeveless, very nice.

    It wasn't easy... I had to curb my natural polyamorous knitting habits. ;) The thing is, I wanted it finished in time for the boy, who flies in tomorrow afternoon. So, success! :)
