me & Stella or is it Stella & I...
Project complete and I'm in love. Feather light fibers from Habu textiles ,linen tape and tsumugi silk ,worked together into a perfect summer sweater . I used Nora's pattern design Stella...
I shortened the length of the sleeves to elbow length without the turn up cuff;and am pleased with it this way...
The camera has picked up on a slight variance of color in the linen tape...in the photo it looks drastic,but in fact it is very subtle and at first I had not noticed.When I did I went into a little panic attack,but after seeing the sweater put together,I realized it was not as profound as I first thought.I have since changed the button,actually a couple of times.I had originally chosen this button, but I felt the sweater needed something larger . I looked through my stash and tried out the stone button on the first picture. It really was too heavy and overpowering for this sweater...
In the end I went with this lightweight wooden button,hand made,with the same subtle shades as the sweater.I felt it a better choice.Wood,linen & silk seemed perfect bedfellows...what do you think? This will be coming to the beach...and I just may wear it all fall and winter...
