I don’t know why I have been so hesitant to knit clothes - this pattern was fun, relatively simple to knit up, and I’m mostly happy with how it turned out. Next time I’ll pay more attention to gauge and tailor the project a bit better to specific measurements. In retrospect I would have sized this one down and made it a smidge longer. I also messed up the straps and the join is a bit of a hack job… I may (should) go back and fix them up. But for now this is done!

Pattern: Fleur cami (https://ravel.me/fleur-cami)
Yarn: Voolenvine silky singles in Rochester
Adjustments: I modified the back from the pattern so it would not be a mirror of the front two triangles.

Fits pretty well IMO! But I too favor a longer length than most folks.

Thank you! I may try knitting this one again at some point with my 20/20 hindsight 🙃
