A find when you are looking for something else

I loved the garment on the cover of the summer 2006 copy of Interweave Knits so I had to purchase 3 balls of the required bamboo yarn from Get Knitted to make said garment, a design by SHARON SHOJI

LOTUS BLOSSOM TANK

and this is how far I got in the summer of 2006.

I love the pattern detail on the botom half.

The pattern has a delicate repeating lace pattern with a square neckline and unusual shoulder detail. To avoid side seams, the body is worked in the round to the armhole. From there, the back and front are worked separately back and forth in stockinette stitch.

This is the first pattern I have knitted from Interweave Knits and I was quite enjoying it!

Me thinks I should finish it. I came so close!!! I would like to wear it at some point in the summer of 2008!
