The results of some of my tea-dunking experimenting last week as a worn FO:
This was a very economical project. I picked up six balls of the yellow in the summer sales. I was sure I could get a tee out of just six, but also knew it'd be tight, which meant working a size down from what I would normally and a lot of 'will I make it' nail-biting. It is also a winner of a knit. A very wearable garment and if anything the smaller size was a good choice - I wouldn't want it baggy. Its a genius pattern - easy and elegant, I can see why its so popular. More details on the project's ravelry page.

Your new summer 'tea' is fantastic!
ouuu!
this pattern is great! i'm on the hunt for a new project that isn't only going to take me 3 days and 2 skeins at most, this might be a good candidate.
i love your orangina! the longer ribbing really works. the color turned out great! tea is amazing.
Congratulations on finishing your thesis. Dunking yarn in tea is a great way to celebrate. The results are lovely.
I like the pattern very much and the color is original !
What a fab FO, the colour is gorgeous (very summery!) and I think it looks much better with the ribbing carried higher up - much more fitted. It's made me look twice at this pattern, anyway!
That's beautiful!
This is a great pattern and suits you really well- the colour is wonderful as well.
Wow, what a wonderful idea. It so happens that my orangina is the colour of yours before the dunking. I like the fit of mine, but also was not enamoured of the colour, so now I'm off to the kitchen to put water on for tea!
Thanks a lot and I hope it will work out as well for me.
Happy knitting and thanks for the blog,

Absolutely gorgeous on you!
I love this tee!
