Lacey top finished - hooray
Knitted using punchcard 18M on my KH881. Tension dial 8, using some 4ply acrylic from Woolyknit in the UK, that I bought several years ago.
I decided on a square neckline so I wouldn't have to do any decreasing, but I did shape the shoulders to give them a slope.
I knitted straight up from the marker I placed at the armholes, I hand knitted the neckband, and picked up the stitches at the hem and did a picot hem ( I had cast on with waste because at the time I wasn't sure how I wanted to finish the hem)
I only found one dropped stitch a couple of inches from the edge at the front when I was sewing it up but I managed to pick it up with a bit of spare yarn and hide it lol...
AND... IT FITS!! HOORAY!! 😍
I was very careful to get the stitches right at the side seams so they wouldnt show up too much - spot the side seam!! I was really pleased about that! 🙂
I sewed all the ends in on Thursday afternoon at our French ladies' knitting, crocheting etc group at our village bar/cafe and tried it on - they were all congratulating me lol 🤣🤣
