Openwork Dress

We just finished the lovely Openwork Dress from the Vogue knit.1 summer '07 issue. Tunics are in this year and this is definitely a "must have" tunic. The lacy weave to the knit stitch looks a bit like crochet but... it's knitted!
The yarn is Tahki Bali -- a bamboo yarn that breathes well. It has a bit of a shine to it -- therefore it adds a touch of elegance to the finished piece.
Bethany and Molli tried this little dress on and and loved it! Bethany said the yarn was soft and not scratchy and pretty light weight. She was excited by the fact that it doesn't just "hang on you". So....if you're in the mood for a fashionable tunic, this is a good pattern to try! =)
