I finished my first tee and now I feel unstoppable

I made the Maritime tee by Trine Brøndum Nordholt! Done in Yarnart Rosegarden color 311 - I used the opposite end of the cake as the contrast color because I wanted the gradient to disappear near the bottom of the tee.

Yes I realized halfway that the pattern was for DK, not fingering weight... yes it's 50% cotton so the gauge of the whole garment grew after washing... Yes I would absolutely do it again, it was so fun and the FO is so cute 🥹

Please don't look at the floats inside the armpit area lmao 🥹

I am accepting more tee recommendations!!

Finished knitting in February and finally got to wear it! The colorway is called Vanilla 🍦

I live in a tropical country without spring, autumn, or fall. Our summer/dry season is about to end and it's been really warm. Took a day trip with my parents to a slightly cooler mountain destination and thought it would be the perfect debut for my Swept Away top by DROPS in Gantsilyo Guru's acrylic cashmere blend in vanilla.

This was my first time knitting in DK weight and I really liked it! It's also my first bottom-up garment. I still sweated and it was quite sunny, but for a cabled top I was really comfortable!

Edit 2: We don't have the "four" seasons, but we have two monsoons, with a dry season in between. I mainly mentioned that to avoid any comparisons with spring or winter, and anyway our summer ends in May.
