Last Minute Knitted Gifts: Silk Camisole Completed!
Presenting Andean Treasure Camisole from Last Minute Knitted Gifts:
Pattern: Silk Camisole
Source: Last Minute Knitted Gifts
Yarn: 4.5 balls of KnitPicks Andean Treasure in Embers
Needle: US5 24" Circular
Size: 32"
Made for: Huili
This is an easy knit. It's supposed to be completed in 8hrs or less. I don't know how long in all I took but probably longer than that. =P I was a little apprehensive about how this will turn out when I received the yarn but it looks better than I expected. Very gorgeous color knitted up. For your info, the camisole is way too big for me. I made it look better by having a clip hold the back together.
Now, all it needs is some blocking to spread the lace part out a bit. I just placed an order for a blocking board and it will not be here for another week or so. As I am excited to post a FO, you got it ala unblock. Will post another pic with close up of the lace portion when it's all blocked and pretty.
Update: Just to clarify, I am making this for my friend so it's supposed to be bigger. Thank you for all the kind comments and suggestions though. ^_^

That's beautiful! It's a gift for someone else? Lucky girl. So how do you like the Andean Treasure?
The color is gorgeous on you! Can you try pulling it longer while you block to make it narrower?
Jade, I love the silk cami! Just what I want to make for my daughter! I'm going to try it.
