I love this yarn, and this top was a perfect fit. The pattern was a piece of cake&#8211;it made for great Trivia Night knitting&#8211;and I finished it in a few weeks of polygamous knittery. I didn&#8217;t make any changes to the pattern, but if I did it over again I might have skipped going down a needle size for the waist shaping sections&#8230; the difference in my gauge wasn&#8217;t enough to make an appreciable difference, and I honestly don&#8217;t think this pattern needs the shaping. The drop-stitch pattern drapes so nicely it gives its own visual shaping. And the cool taupe color is such a nice neutral that it will let me play with wearing color in other places&#8230;hint hint of things to come. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last summer, I made myself a sweet little tank shell from Shibui Fibers Twig yarn, a wool\/silk\/linen blend that feels cool and papery.
