I'm finishing up a top that is turning out well and that is inspiring me to make a thread here. I'll model it on when I am really done. (Sleeves need finishing!) It's a Berroco pattern.

Here's the top!


The previous project was a vest I made for the spousal unit -- loose ends still haven't been tidied up since it will be an xmas gift so there is no hurry.

The vest:

Woo hoo! Welcome Lucy! I'm thrilled you decided to start a thread. I love your new top!

It looks great -- have to finish the "sleeves" -- and I'm tempted to take out the bottom and make it into a tunic. I have almost a skein of yarn left!

And thanks for stopping in!

Glad you have joined us! Oh yes, do model it when it is finished. It would be nice as a tunic, too!

>4 avaland: Thanks and so glad to be here.

Okay, here it is on. I think I will keep this as a top and maybe see if I like some other yarn color enough to knit a tunic size. Or the same yarn -- maybe longer sleeves? I'm very into brown lately. I admit I like easier patterns as I like to read while knitting . . . That means, of course, I have a bit of fixing to do on this one -- at least three safety pins where I dropped stitches and all those loose ends to weave in.

You read while knitting?! I'm impressed!!

The top is beautiful and fits you perfectly. Well done!

>5 sibylline: Wonderful! I love that on you, and the color is fab! I love that shade of brown. I had a very comfy tunic-length shirt in that color that I adored.

>8 avaland: Thank you, Lois! A little frustrating, I admit, that it is too hot to wear. It won't be long, I know, until things cool down, even here in Vermont, and then I'll be sorry!
