Robin Denning said... Dilliander, both tops are beautiful and inspiring. Thanks for all the details about your decisions and results. I have that pattern, so it will get sewn soon!
Did you find the neckline to be too low? I guess one can always wear something underneath if the neckline is too low. 4/6/12 6:51 AM

Knitz said... Lovely -- thanks for showing the cowl in a less drapey fabric, as I was wondering about that for my next one. Will be a beautiful wardrobe basic in the fitted silhouette. 4/6/12 8:05 AM

Dilliander said... Hi Robin, The neckline doesn't feel as low as on some tops (such as the Pia). I think because the cowl drape gives extra coverage and fills in some of the neckline area, also the "u" shaped neckline means the cowl falls closely on each side. You could raise it a little if preferred, it would be a relatively simple adjustment. Thanks everyone for the kind comments. 4/6/12 8:18 AM
