Lelah on vacation
Last weekend my company have organized a short trip to one of the Island - Redang Island, is actually is my 4th time there. The Island are really pretty and the water are crystal clear but the coral and fish are getting less compare to my first visit which is about 8 year ago, and Island is pretty unknown to the public. Now, the Island have become a famous holiday hot spot, and most of the coast line coral have been damage, is such a shame.
I finished my long due project - Lelah, before I went for the trip and.. of course, I bring along the top to the Island for a little show off... It is quite a straight forward pattern and knit up quick. I used about 5 skein of Rowan All Season Cotton, it turn out pretty good but if I have to do it again I'll choose yarn in much lighter weight so that the flare will look lighter. The only change that I make on this top is to extended the length..(I'm a bit concern about my tummy)...
Pattern : Lelah
Yarn : Rowan all season cotton
Yardage: 5 balls
Needle : 5mm

Your Lelah looks good on you! I like it that the tie is slightly off center. If I wear tubes, I'd be tempted to knit one too.

I love it...This has been on my to-do list for quite some time and is actually my next project. Good job adding length-- I'm a big fan of longer shirts/sweaters.
