Simple, easy to follow pattern with good, quick results.

Knit and blocked according to pattern, no mods. One thing I would do differently next time is to cast on with a larger needle and perhaps knit the first, and possibly the second, lace pattern sections with the larger needle. It’s not too tight, but as the linen has no give, I think I would prefer to have a bit of positive ease in certain sections. As I am long waisted, for added length I might do more repeats of the center (vertical) lace pattern, and I might also make the sleeve/yoke pieces longer (wider: cast on more stitches) or knit with a larger needle as well.

6/29 Got to wear my new top to visit with my daughter and twin grandsons this past weekend - they are growing so fast! It’s hard to believe they were only a couple of pounds each just a handful of months ago! And I’ll now be making another one of these tops as my sister decided that she needs one too :0)
