Finished at last!
This photo shoot brought to you from the bathroom at work. I'm classy like that.
I'm wearing a little tank top underneath because I went crazy with the lace at the top, and it's a little too much skin for work. But for going out...it's just enough skin! woo-hoo.
The finishing on this top was a long process for me. I really wanted to make it wearable, which is my new goal with my knits, and it proved to be a challenge. Minor changes: I did some extra shaping at the waist. I added a bit of length. I left off the ribbing at the bottom and just did a normal old bind off. And, to compensate for my extra tight binding off, I did the sleeve ribbing using size 4 needles and then switched back to the 6s for the bind off. This REALLY helped my cap sleeves to be comfortable.
I'm so happy with the finished product. I really like it layered with a tank, but it looks really sassy without a shirt too.
