My daughter was having a good laugh at me today - showing off my white skin for the first time in months. Somehow they look even whiter in that strong and "cruel" first sunrays of spring. Never mind; the weather has gone from cold, grey and damp to promising sun and even a bit of warmth in just a few days. And my Escala top has been finished for some while already. I didn't want to wait any longer to present it!
Escala is knitted TOP-DOWN and SEAMLESSLY - with no finishing work at all! The lovely lace-pattern in the back is repetetive and easy to memorize after a couple of repeats. It contains one uncommon stich, which I call k3togm2 - easy to learn and nothing to fear.
I will be wearing this A LOT! Maybe with long sleeves to start with.....
