Here you see the sample I worked in Knit Picks Shine Sport. |
Work on it in the sunshine, wear it in the warmth!
I can't believe how comfy this piece is. Knitting it was really a joy. It almost designed itself, with its simple, geometric shape. Those straight and easy-to-follow lines in the garment translate into the wonderful drape you see in the finished knit.
Fun fact: I had originally proposed this sweater as a fall/winter piece, but Allyson at Holla Knits made the very smart suggestion of saving it for spring/summer. She was totally right.
Would you like to win a copy of Lady Bat? Just comment on this post, and give me a description of how you'd wear it. Personally, I can't wait to get the sample back in the mail so I can test it out as a bikini coverup.
I'll keep the comments open until Wednesday, April 24, 11:59 pm. Winner will be announced on Thursday, April 25.

ReplyDeleteI love this pattern! I would wear it over a tank for those days when it's just a little chilly in the mornings.
ReplyDeleteI would wear it over a tank or t shirt. Very pretty and clever design!
ReplyDeleteI added this to my favorites IMMEDIATELY, I love this pattern so much! I would wear it over a tank and very ripply, diaphanous maxi skirt and gladiator sandals... as you can see, I already have my look planned out!

ReplyDeleteI would wear it at work at the height of summer. It would allow me to wear a tank outdoors and then throw it on over the tank to not show too much skin at the office.
ReplyDeleteI really want to make this!
ReplyDeleteI love the shape and the geometric lace pattern.
I would wear it with skinny jeans, a long tank top underneath, and clog booties:)
I love this pattern! I would wear it with a camisole and slacks for work in summer!
ReplyDeleteI would love to knit it up in something silky, and wear it over a strapless dress! It would look so demure and elegant.
ReplyDeleteOver a stringy tank top with shorts and gladiator sandals and of course, some big sunglasses. Lady Bat would be the statement piece here!
ReplyDeleteI'd wear this with shorts and a tank top! I absolutely love it!
ReplyDeleteLet's see, probably with my new emerald green khakis over a contrasting tank. I have this sportweight cotton that would work well for this sweater!
ReplyDeleteLove this pattern! I'd wear it over a tank, with shorts, for when it's nice enough out, but all that AC inside makes you freeze to death when shopping.
ReplyDeleteI live in Colorado where weather changes a lot - would make this out of lightweight wool-cotton blend, and wear all the time over a tee ir bathing suit
ReplyDeleteAwesome design! Over a tank, for sure! Helps keep the chill off, but not being too heavy about it. Genius!
ReplyDeleteI would wear it with a warm hat and ski boot, :)
ReplyDeleteCan hardly wait for spring to actually arrive here in Winnipeg. I love this pattern. The first sample is my favourite!
ReplyDeleteOh this is adorable. I love the idea of teaming this up with a nice pair of jeans and a tank top -- and a lovely necklace! I'm picturing a teal color knit. Love it.
ReplyDeleteI love this design! I would love to wear it as a swimsuit cover up or to spruce up a gym outfit (over some yoga pants and a tank top)
ReplyDeleteOh I would love to win this pattern! I would wear it with a tank underneath, jean shorts and some cute sandals or my chucks. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely design. I'd wear it over a tank top and jeans in summer, and over a long sleeved T in the winter, when I'm inside. Where I live, a sweater like this would be useful on fall, winter and spring.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a good job!
lovely! i'd throw it on for chilly california evenings over a tank top and skirt.
ReplyDeleteGreat design to put over a tank this summer, love it!
ReplyDeleteThe easy lace/mesh is a perfect summer pattern! I like the turquoise color used in the sample and can easily see it worn with a tank top and a long, flowy skirt or capris.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to wear this over a cami with a skirt and heels- sexy and comfy at once.
ReplyDeleteI love the big baggy style of this pattern. I would wear it as in the picture, with a tank under it.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love baggy clothes, this one caught my eye immediately. I would wear it as in the picture, with a tank under it. Ooh, so comfortable

Personally, on those days I am feeling my arms are a bit too jiggly, I'd love this for more coverage. Lovely piece.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern, my challenge is already trying to figure out what color to knit it in :) I like it over the black tank.
ReplyDeleteNice
ReplyDeleteI liked it so much
I will visit here again
