Finished Project - Gemini Top

I've finished the purple Gemini top I posted about last Wednesday! I was hoping to get better pictures to post, but the weather hasn't been cooperating... so I'm going to post what I have now, and then maybe later put up some pictures of me wearing it.

This is pre-wash so it's a bit crinkly looking...

 And here's a close up of the neckline lace pattern:

I did give this top a nice soak and once it dried it was quite a bit softer (and I'm under the impression every time I wash it the linen will soften up a bit more). The sleeves are a bit floppy...but once I went back and looked at the pattern page again, it seems that's how they are supposed to fit. I'm not sure I really like how wide the sleeves are, so if I were to make this top again I think i'd work in some decreases to the sleeves, and also perhaps make them a bit shorter. 

Other than the fit of the sleeves I'm quite pleased with this top and how it came out! 

Now just to finish up my purple socks (which I'm aiming to finish by the end of this week) and I can cast on something new! (most likely more socks! And also a sweater I'd like to get finished for the NY Sheep and wool festival which is in October)

I'll probably do a post this evening with a picture of my socks in progress...after all it is what's on the needles Wednesday...
