My contribution to the current theme is also my latest FO: A Thea Top in Cotton/Linen/Viscose.
(Link to Rav-project)

That's what it looks like after one week of wearing and toddler-proofing (we end up dangerously close to a side-boob situation, so it definitely needs layering):

I'm a little proud for managing to weave in all my ends and block it in the last days of August, in time to wear it on our late-summer vacation. The final garment is not exactly what I was hoping for, but I'm learning to love it.

Oh that's beautiful. And you got this kind of drape with a worsted yarn? I gotta get me some yarn with viscose in it 😲

Sorry it's not quite what you pictured. Presumably you were planning for a bit less side-boob, but it looks great in photos at least. We've all had those projects where we just need to appreciate them for what they are rather than what we planned them to be!

Hope you had a great holiday 😊

Thank you so much! True, it isn't that bad. But it looses its shape the moment you touch it and it really grew since I first wore it.
The yarn is nice, although it got a little rough on my hands towards the end, when I spent more time on the project.

Ack no the unexpected growing is the worst :(
