Casting on was a breeze...
And I like the look of the diamonds and cables even after I made some changes to accomodate gauge:
I completed the back according to the pattern but I had to rip it down since I'm seriously running out of yarn. This is how far I dare to rip down. Whatever I end up doing to save this project, I need full coverage up to my armpits:
A close-up of the armhole decreases:
This is my second attempt at the back. Notice that big keyhole opening? The original pattern didn't include that, of course, but I'm trying to save as much yarn as I can. I might end up ripping down again and going for straps if I get into trouble when working on the front.
This sort of guesswork requires concentration and time, it's not the best project when you're on vacation.

I like the stitch pattern that you chose. Are you close to running out of yarn, because I like the straps how you have them.
Must confes I admire your will to rip and start again - I hate ripping more that sewinf knitted pieces together!
Love the coloure of linen top!
I like the color of the yarn. Do you think you will run out?
