This is the Thea top by PaulaM. I’m knitting it with Sandnes Line, which is a cotton/viskose/linen blend. This was supposed to be a quick knit to be worn this summer, but it took me ages to go through swatching - I just couldn’t get gauge.
Anyway, there’s still one and a half months of summer left and this baby is only half a strap away from top topology.

BTW, have you seen the VeryPink video on weaving in cotton ends? These ends are cut soo short! I don’t know if I can bring myself to trust the process…

    I know what you mean (seen the video, not actually tried it). Unfortunately, this method isn’t suitable for plant fibres, because they are too slippery and don’t felt…

      I was under the impression that the technique is to twist the tail into the stitch, and then weaves it into the stitches. I didn’t see anything that says it’s only for animal fiber. I’m using it on a tencel yarn right now. Seems pretty secure.
