I finished the project I have been knitting on the non-bus part of my morning commute since it got warm - it's a silk yarn I had in my stash for a long time not really knowing what to do with it (blocking myself with thinking it should be super special as I loved the yarn so much), but for summer knitting it was perfect. I admit I had assumed I'd get more out of the yarn, I'm glad I didn't try to make a top like I had first considered, that would have been a bit airy. ;-)







The pattern is improvised, had I known the yarn wouldn't last longer, I would have started the lace part earlier. But I'm okay with it now, particularly since it turned out I like the somewhat ruffled look.
