Ariadne bodice top in Colinette Lasso
Pattern: Ariadne from Colinette "Muse" pattern book
Yarn: Colinette Lasso, shade Jamboree
Yardage: Less than three skeins, although the pattern called for four
Needles: Brittany birch 4mm, Denise circular 4mm
Seams: fake grafting at shoulders, mattress stitch on sides
I'm quite glad to finish this at long last! The armhole ruffles took a lot less time than I had feared, after the interminable neckline. I sewed up the seams with the Lasso, in hindsight it may have been better to use a toning plain DK yarn. Lasso is very adept at catching up on itself. I'm not sure I'd use it again to make a garment, although it might be good as a slinky scarf. I also should have made the next size up, as it is very slightly snug across my chest! It fits nicely everywhere else though.

Wow, your Ariadne is so pretty - the colours are amazing and I love all those ruffles. The buttons and ribbon you have chosen really finish it off nicely. Great knit :)
Such a pretty top. I love the ruffles and the ribbon - very feminine.
That's a cute top! I love the ruffles. And the colours. And the shape. Oh dear... Another to add to my to-do list!
That looks absolutely gorgeous!
It should be snug across the chest, it's 'enhancing' lol. It's really gorgeous, well done with persevering with your not fave yarn - Lasso ;o)
It's vey pretty, and how clever, the pattern on the fronts appears to match up almost exactly? - somehow this trick never quite works if I try to do it!
It's such a pretty top and looks lovely in that yarn.
That's really pretty and the ribbon and buttons are just perfect with it!
Wow, I can't believe how very, very beautiful this turned out! I so love the pattern, and the yarn you used is just fantastic, I'm totally in love with the colors! Fantastic work, congratulations!!!
