This is about the top I discussed in this post. My initial plan was to make stripes all over.

A good friend has sent me some cotton named Lily, 100 % cotton, 100 g/392 m. This friend of mine has knitted with two strands some textured patterns. I thought I could do a summer top with "brick" pattern. But then problems started. 

One can always ask whether two pieces of knitwear are similar or not. The question is not so simple, as it may seem on the first glance. Of course, all sweaters are similar in what makes them sweaters.

I got Gotland wool to try out already in November. Meanwhile I had other knitting to do and now I finally made it. I decided that in order to show the beauty of the yarn I will do plain stockinette. It is 100 g/300 m.

I introduced a new tag "analytical knitting". Actually, it is not very new, I have given a couple of lectures under this heading at Estonian Academy of Art where I talked about my approaches to knitting design. Let us observe what Instagram pictures are most favoured (from the beginning of 2019 till November).
