My Linum Tee is growing up and getting curves in new places. This pattern doesn’t include waist shaping, so I’m experimenting a bit. I decided to keep all the shaping on the back, and I decreased and increased in a somewhat dramatic hourglass. It will be interesting to see how this fits when worn. I decreased a total of 22 stitches, or about 3.5 inches in my altered gauge. I’m knitting this project on a 3 in hopes of making it solid enough to wear without a layer underneath, so my gauge is closer to 26 sts over 4 inches. 
The Shibui Linen seems easier to work with than the last time I knit with it. Maybe I’m just getting used to the feel of it, but I find myself catching the individual strands of the chain ply much less than I did before.
I’m about to get to the interesting part…
I love the color. Good work!
That’s gonna be gorgeous! I need to be more brave (like you) and knit brighter colors. I love how amazing your knits look. 🙂
That is a really gorgeous color. And waist shaping is the bomb, without it I always look pregnant (which I am not, lol)
Beautiful colour-looking forward to seeing how it turns out! x
What a great colour! And I totally agree about knitting tighter to get a more solid fabric. Layering in the heat sort of defeats the purpose.
Your projects always amaze me!
This looks amazing, the colour is lovely. The pattern seems to be nice, but I agree that it would benefit from some shaping, especially on the back. Looking forward to the finished results!
I’m dying to make the Linum T! Maybe I’ll get to it one of these days. Can’t wait to see yours finished!
Wow you’re brave! 🙂 Fingers crossed it works out.
