It is such a pretty pattern. I have been thinking of it for days, but I haven’t bought the yarn yet. Looks like I need to if I want a chance at the sale yarn
Thanks for your technical thoughts on the pattern. I really like the pin, but I don’t know how often I would actually wear it with a pin. I kind of like the idea of leaving it open… I wish there was a picture to show that.
Yes, definitely worth the effort 😉

What concerns me a bit in that photo is how the sweater bunches by the pin. What’s up with that?

I just ordered 14 balls of Zodiac # 6929 (gray/blue with streaks of different bright colors running thru it)from Webs.
I’ll be following your progress on this little top – you’ve already pointed out things to watch out for that I hadn’t even considered. I want to make this top for my 15-year old daughter. I need to do a good job fitting… you can imagine how picky teenagers can be.

I’d like to change the ribbing on the arms and hem. And maybe even try 3/4 sleeves. I look forward to reading about your changes to the pattern.

What colour do you have in mind?
