I saw this pattern and pounced at the chance to use a skein of variegated yarn I’ve had kicking around for years. It’s the Luminos Tee by yamagara, a fun knit and clever construction.
I took some nail-biting liberties to get it to work in sport weight, and I’m pleasantly surprised it fits as well as it does haha. Also featuring: my neighbor’s gorgeous and hair-attacking passionfruit vines. 😅
It turns out that the bottom edge of my Luminos Tee hits at an awkward spot, and curves in a bit due to tightness in the edge. So, I’m picking up stitches and working a ribbed border to make it longer and address the curving issue 🙄
My Luminos Tee is now all done! I still have to block it, hence the crumbly lower edge, but otherwise it’s all finished 😃
Update on my Luminos Tee: on the left you see the armhole finishing as described in the pattern, on the right I changed it to a 4-stitch I-cord bind-off. I’m liking this much better! Now to redo that last armhole… 😆
My Luminos Tee project is the next one on the list to finally finish. I’ve woven in the ends, and started the armhole finishing. But I’m just not liking it… Perhaps replace this simple knit BO with an i-cord BO? 🤔
Update on my Luminos Tee! I'm currently working on the ribbing at the neck. Next up, is finishing the armholes, and weaving in all ends 😬
Update on my Luminos Tee! The first in-the-round bit is done, it’s now back to working flat for the armholes 😃
With my Luminos Tee, I’ve connected both triangles and added in the contrast color. The project is looking pretty weird right now 😄
Luminos Tee update! The triangles are getting big, so I’ll be continuing working them separately from now on😃
This is the start of my Luminos Tee by Yamagara. I'm knitting both triangles the tee is started with at the same time. This way I can make sure, the tension is identical in both😃
