This is the Thea top by PaulaM. I'm knitting it with Sandnes Line, which is a cotton/viskose/linen blend. This was supposed to be a quick knit to be worn this summer, but it took me ages to go through swatching - I just couldn't get gauge.
Anyway, there's still one and a half months of summer left and this baby is only half a strap away from top topology.

BTW, have you seen the VeryPink video on weaving in cotton ends? These ends are cut soo short! I don't know if I can bring myself to trust the process...

If anyone asks tell them you didn’t say which summer, haha. Looks like that will be a really nice classic top.

My thoughts watching the video you linked: “Okay, split the plies, interesting, less bulky … knots? okay, I guess … SCISSORS??” I can see why that knot method could be more secure than weaving, since cotton doesn’t stick to itself like wool does, but woe to you if your knot comes undone!
