At Long Last, I Present Linea
Thanks for your patience. Life has thrown a few curve balls that have prevented me from offering Linea as quickly as I had hoped.
Since this is the first time I will be charging for a pattern, I have set up and account to accept payment through Paypal. I have yet to work out all of the geeky bits. So for now, after I have received your payment, I will e-mail the PDF file to you. You can expect the file in less than 24 hours.
Linea
Linea is a lacy summer top. Fabric knit from bamboo yarn has a lovely drape. The elastic in the Esprit yarn adds stability to the bodice, which is knit at a tight gauge for the yarn. The armhole depth and shoulder straps are designed to allow a bra or camisole to be worn underneath. The top is knit in one piece from the bottom up.

Oooo..that's pretty! I love the drape on that. That would look adorable over a long sleeved white shirt. I'm sure that this pattern will do well. :D

Oooh, that's a very sweet top. I'm curious how you set up the PayPal account to take payment? Was it hard to set up?

Beautiful, thank you.

I just purchased mine--I can't wait to knit it! I might see if I can substitute yarns for it so I can knit from stash, though! Thanks!

Very nice top! I must knit it! But I think I'll have to wait until I'm finished being pregnant.... Although it sure would make a cute maternity top....
