I am working on the sleeves now for this top. I am using Patons Brilliant in a dark purple. Worked on it last night and decided to baste together to check the fit. It is snug, but still stretchy enough to move around in. This will be my fourth wearable not counting accessories. I am happy with it so far. I am still intimidated by making clothing, so I try one every now and then! Oh, you know what! I never knew you could erase wrinkles on photobucket! But I did! And blemishes. My son and played with some photos tonight. You can add animations, all kinds of stuff. i haven't edited a picture on there in so long, they have added all kinds of goodies. Of course, the goodies may have always been there and I didn't have a clue!
Update Finished 3.27.09 Here it is and the book where I got the pattern.

| Thanks, I am working still on the sleeves. I didn't crochet at all yesterday, had company. And today it is slow going, cause of chores. I am trying to get stuff together for a yard sale. We have so much stuff! |

Your top is lookin good so far.
I made myself a couple of sweaters that are warm and cozy for winter..
Good Luck on your gathering for your yard sale. That's one thing I need to do.. |

Finished the top using Patons Brilliant in Prettiest Plum. It took seven skeins and I have a less than half a skein left, so I calculated pretty well on this top. Pics in the first post. The edging was in lovers knot, which I had never done before, so to You Tube I went! It really is an easy stitch. Anyhoo, my third wearable. So far, a tank, a sweater that didn't really turn out too well, and now a short sleeve top.
I think it turned out pretty well!
Oh as a side note, I got the yarn at Michael's on clearance at $1.50 a skein. So, not a bad dent in the pocketbook for a new top! |

It looks great! I am still struggling trying to finish a sweater for me. (I think I haven't worked on because it is intimidating, too.) Your sweater turned out great. And what a deal on the yarn!

| Thanks for the support! I didn't really know for sure how it would turn out. But, I measured, measured, measured as I went to make sure the thing would fit! Oh, yeah, I have to take back the three wearables. I made a vest for a girlfriend a couple of years ago. I measured the heck out that too. I had one of her vests that she wore to measure by and it turned out too. |
