The name «Fata Morgana» came to me for a reason. Summer began with intense heat, and this top was on my needles at that exact time. The name felt natural: hot air, shimmering haze, almost a mirage.
But knitting it did not feel hot at all. The yarn is truly made for summer: a light and soft cotton/lyocell blend that feels lovely against the skin.
The hardest part was not the knitting, but taking the photos. I had to wait all day until the sun was almost below the horizon, so the light would become softer and the heat less intense.
The pattern includes sizes XS/S/M/L/XL/XXL.
Yarn usage: Kremke Morning Salutation Fino 3/3/4/5/6/6 skeins.
The «Fata Morgana» top pattern is now available on Ravelry. Link in bio👆🏽

Turns out, the hardest part is knitting a piece from the bottom up and not being able to properly try it on almost until the very end.
That’s why I love top-down constructions: you can check the fit as you go.
But this time, the first try-on will be a surprise. Hopefully, a nice one.
You can see in the photo that I’ve already washed one half of the front, just to see how the fabric would behave. I just couldn’t wait 😅
There’s very little left to do: sew the side seams and finish the armholes, neckline, and hem. And that’s it, the top will be ready.
I can’t wait to finally try it on. Fingers crossed.

⛅️Another day, another perfect reason to bring back one of the patterns from my collection, because today we are once again talking about BC Garn Soft Silk - 100% bourette silk. Have you tried this yarn yet?

Soft Silk + Bon Voyage Tee = a very good summer plan 😎.

😅Funny how it goes: I spent almost 10 days knitting the previous Gerda mittens, even though I said they were a very quick project. But at some point, the process turned out to be rather painful for me. Maybe knitting winter pieces in summer is not the best idea, ahahah 😂

This bourette silk tee, though, is absolutely lovely. It is knitting up at a fantastic speed. The first photo shows my progress after three days, and I’m planning to finish it by Monday.
All the other photos are just a little chronicle of these beautiful days.
