That went fast. Not the what I expected to knit at the cast-on -- I love it. Note: it is not asymmetrical. I was leaning against the door frame.
magnolia tee as swatch
This is a huge working swatch to figure out some issues I have with a design I've been trying to finish for about 5 years. It succeeded in both solving that issue and giving yarn that has languished for over a decade a chance to form new and better memories.

I started a boatneck tank. Then my mother had open heart surgery and I knit in the waiting room. Surgery took much longer than expected because it went from replacing two valves to replacing two valves and a double bypass. Gauge was all over the place and it wasn't the right pattern. Her recovery was challenging as was she. This sat in my stash since July 2012.

Finally ripped out original knitting and cast on for a simple boxy tee. Using child measurements (chest 34). 2.5cm hem with 3 extra short rows in back for additional length. Body length 15in/38cm from hem to armhole.

I actually picked up the right number of stitches for the first sleeve!

Finally finished front and seamed together. I suck and shoulder seam. Armholes too long (9 in/22.75 cm) so will do a dolman ish sleeve. Still need to figure out the neckline.
