Everyone wanted to take this tunic home with them (we checked everyone's backpack at the end of the day). We were a bit surprised at how great it looked on a variety of body types--we all assumed that the stripe at the hips would look terrible--but it didn't, it looked TERRIFIC! ...

This is a great, lightweight summer top! The hemp breathes, and the gauge isn't very tight, so if you live in a warm climate, this would be a great all-season pattern! We thought it would be good for office wear, or for giving speeches. (Debbie for President! Stefanie for Prime Minister! What a world THAT would be....) ...

What is it about little hoodies that is so completely captivating? Why do we all want this garment for ourselves? I don't know, but I was really disappointed that I couldn't try on the sample. Sigh. The difference between this hoodie and most of the other hoodies you see around town (besides the lovely lace and the handknit splendor) is that it isn't the traditional boxy shape--it has set-in sleeves, waist shaping, and actual curves. Go Connie! ...

Notes in pattern advise no more than 2" negative ease max and no more than 2" positive ease max in order to not distort the stitch pattern. Overall: Good golly, Ms. Molly. This is just darn gorgeous in person. The fabric is to die for, the knitting is extremely fine work (Ms. Hahn, take a bow, if you would). There are details in this shell that blow my mind: the roped edging at neck and hem, the false seam is a lovely design element (and a clever one, too: it conceals the pattern "jog" caused by knitting in the round); the draped back neckline is just breathtaking. When I first saw this tank, I thought: "Well. I could just sing, this is so pretty." ...

We LOVED this tee. We also quickly discovered that if the bust shaping wasn't too pronounced, the tee could be worn with either side as the front! We were delighted with how it looked either way. The front neckline is higher than the back, providing the little "cowl" effect that gives the tee its name. Since front necklines are generally lower than the back, this is also what makes the tee wearable two ways: as the gentle cowl neck with the lace detail at front hem, or as a scoop neck with lace detail at back hem. ...

The Oriel Lace Blouse on Bertha and the Interweavers! Just as with the Corset Pullover, Bertha and the Interweave gang once again all try on the same sweater for the greater good of knitting, to demonstrate how the sweater looks with various amounts of ease, both positive and negative. ...

Introducing the Corset 9! (and Bertha makes 10.) Sandi talked nine of us Interweavers into trying on the Corset Pullover and (gasp!) disclose our measurements for her post, Nine Women and a Sweater. So, for the greater good of knitting, we agreed to demonstrate how the sweater looks with various amounts of ease, both positive and negative. ...
