I can’t wait to see what you do. You’re sketch is gorgeous! And it sounds as though you will be able to incorporate fine detail into the fitting – which even “A-list” designers sometimes don’t do!!

Why not pre-wash the yarn so that it takes a slightly shorter leap of faith? I’ve never used linen for the same reason as you mentioned but if I was going to try it I think a pre-wash would help immensely.

I know exactly what you’re saying about understanding construction and fit of a garment, and how it impinges on knitting.
And as for a name for your design – I think you’ve hit it yourself. Faith.

One thing to keep in mind is that knitted fabric doesn’t sit still very well — square necklines tend to droop in knitting and rarely site close to the skin. You may want to try doing a ribbing at the horizontal part of the square neckline to keep it pulled in nicely . . . although I’m not sure how much memory the yarn you’ve chosen has, maybe a rib won’t make any difference. . . I’m eager to see it progress!
