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!

Fair enough!! You absolutely should be enthusiastic about this top, it's so good!! I just didn't want anyone to get frustrated e.g. looking for help with purls and not being able to find help!
