Sometimes, a knitter just needs to throw deadlines to the wind and knit something new. At least, that's how I felt when I took a break from mad book deadline knitting and whipped up these simple tees. On A Whim is a super-simple, super-wearable basic tee shirt of a sweater, with a flattering scoop neck and an easygoing a-line shape by default. It's shown here in three different Indigodragonfly yarns, and the subtle shifts of the color compliment the simple silhouette. The best thing? They'll even dye your favorite color to order.
The design features a slightly-wider-than-average scoop neckline, and is shown in a long sweater length and 3/4 sleeves on Ronnie (gray) and Amy (blue), and tunic length and elbow sleeves on Morgan (red). But you can choose whatever combination of lengths you like! On A Whim is available in both set-in sleeve and drop-shoulder constructions, and all other CustomFit customization choices.
