I held the Silka8 double to acquire gauge.

The body of my garment is knit an inch shorter to the design, ( about 8 rows) at the neckline, on both front and back. I did this in order to raise the underarm slightly.

The design is gorgeous as is, however I required a slightly more conservative item for work.

The last two photos show the garment before neckline modification.

I will take more pictures once the garment is blocked.

This yarn is incredibly light and cool. I’m going to test it out properly this weekend in the heat of our summer !!
