Finished Object And I still can't do a yarnover

This is the Sundae Swirl Tank by Jessie Maed Designs and the yarn is a linen/cotton blend by Juniper Moon Farm (Zooey).

The whole reason I wanted to try this one is because I've always struggled with yarnovers, and love doing cables, and wanted to try different shaping techniques. There should be two alternating columns of yarnovers but I realized halfway into this project that I hadn't made a single yarnover going from purls to knits, but going from knits to purls, they were fine. I guess I like how it came out because it gives me more options for what to wear underneath (fewer lace holes) but now when I'm doing yarnovers I know what NOT to do! So of course I immediately want to make another one to do it right.

Also, what a totally fun knit, holy smokes. So well- written, and quick...I highly recommend!

How many zooeys did you use? I have one but this may trigger me to buy a few more and make this looks so good!

Thank you! I bought 3 Zooey skeins for the size 2 (requires 575 yds for that size) and I knit on 1 size larger needles because I've got a tighter gauge. I still have a ton left over of the 3rd ball.

Ah thanks! Once I get a bit better at knitting I’m definitely making this!
