For the past week I have spend my working breaks knitting the gorgeous Eunoia Tunic, designed by our own genius Emmms. She is so fantastic and has created an absolute beauty to knit.
When I first saw her in the process of designing it all those months ago I was amazed at the little construction tweaks she had made to the traditional style of top down raglan sweater knitting.
The main body is stockinette with a billowing high/floppy neck however to hold the interest of the knitter she has continued the ruched effect used on the neck as a panel which ripples down the centre front as you go!
The increases for the bust are made using pleats which sit just under the arm giving a very different but perfect shape to the body and I am really looking forward to repeating the same technique in the arms to create the puff sleves!
I am so glad I chose this yarn for this project as It gives such texture, shine and definition to the tunic. It is Wensleydale Longwool Sheep Shop Aran, 100% wool in shade number 103m and it is divine! Definatley something I would recommend and use again in the future!
And the buttons, well what can I say, little round pieces of gorgeousness from Textile Garden
All in all this is a project I just cant bear to put down!!!!
Yay! I’m so happy you’re making this, I can’t wait to see how the Wensleydale turns out. I can’t believe how far you’ve come, it was only a cowl and some shoulders on Monday! I love, love, LOVE those buttons!!
Wow it’s beautiful! I can’t wait to see the finished item. I especially love the blue buttons with the dark gray!
Hi,
I just came the photo’s of your beautiful tunic, it really is lovely. I see the buttons come from my website so it is really cool for me to see them on the finished garment. They look good against the grey. I sell loads of buttons but very seldom see the end item and I have to say it has inspired me to get going on all my unfinished projects.
Thank you
Marguerite
