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

This is the pattern and the sweater idea I have used many times (see Ravelry). I wrote about my current sweater in the penultimate post.

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. 

I have knitted summer tops from this yarn. It is Cotton Gold (by Alize), cotton-acrylic blend, 100 g/330 m. It does not get nappy and is machine washable etc.

I like very plain, simple garments for myself. Recently, I have been knitting quite a lot of samples and orders, so I decided to make a simple summer top as long as we still have summer.
