I heart my Cornflower

I started knitting Buttercup (Rav link) about a month ago in this adorably blue and shiny linen yarn by Karin Öberg - the best linen yarn I've ever tried to knit with. Having prepared it for a holiday spent partly on the European roads with only the stockinette stitch to go, I've managed to finish it during my holidays. And the outcome is just like I wanted it to be! I love the neckline, the A-line design, and the colour. 

The pattern is very well written, so if you're tempted by this design, I'll recommend it :)

Det mønster er røget direkte i kø hos mig... mon ikke at den kan være klar til næste sommer? ;)
Din kornblomst er VILDT smuk... måske mest fordi du er indeni, men det er nu et flot stykke strik også ;)

The neckline is so beautiful and becoming!
I've got to check out that yarn some day. Haven't knitted with linen for some ten years, so it's about time. Thanks for inspiration!
