It's done! Still could use a washing and re-blocking to get the crinkles out from seaming, but
I think I'll keep it:
I really love the shape of it, no boxiness! The Calmer was tough to work with tension wise, and the light color shows EVERY uneven stitch, but it's very easy to seam up and the fabric is very soft and cozy. Things I would change if I knit this again? I would definitely short row the shoulders and maybe do cap sleeves knit from the top. Thanks Alison for a great summer knit, Nona for hosting the knit along, and Vicky for trading so I could get purple Calmer without breaking the yarn diet!
One more pic with the giant kitten - he sees a bug so he's not real interested in the shirt right now:
T shirt looks really great - such a talented child

You're so right: this is no average-joe, boxy t-shirt! Yours looks terrific. I'm working away on mine and am finding your in-progress posts good (inspiring!) reading, too.

i love your NBaT. did you lengthen the pattern a bit? i didn't, but mine looks a little longer and i was wondering if it was just me.

Man, that's a fabulous fit. It's killing not doing one, I just gotta find that yarn cheaper somewhere. It looks great!
