Hey there, I feel like this community needs some love! So here is my latest FO: A cropped tee I recently improvised to battle the draining summer heat. It consists of a Tencel/bamboo mix and has a nice cooling effect.

Just when we thought the .world knitting community was becoming the "default" one lol 😅

This is really cute! The yarn sounds absolutely lovely for this time of year, people get a bit weird about knitted clothes for summer but they don't realise how cooling some fibres can be. You just made it up as you went? No pattern or anything?

I would like to have that level of skill one day, wow, the fit looks perfect!

In my view it still says .world only had 5 subscribers lol. Just now I realized that's obv not true 😄

Thanks a lot! I borrowed Barbara Walker's Knitting from the Top from archive.org and used it as reference. I feel like most patterns using standard sizes don't really fit me, so it was time for something customized.
