Grape Fanta (Orangina)

Pattern: Orangina, by Stefanie Japel, at glampyre.com
Yarn: Lion Brand Microspun
Needles: Er, size 3s? I think?

purply fanta goodness. yahoo!

I made the ribbing a little shorter than the pattern called for because I felt weird about having lots of ribbing hugging my belly. so now it stops before my belly, and probably accentuates my belly more. ha. Oh well -- belly curves are cute, right!?!? More fanta pics:


Please ignore any piles of clothes you might see on the bed.
They're not mine, I swear.



front of fanta is fun!

The side seaming wasn't hard at all for this top. Stef's pattern is written so you have a nice lacy design when the two sides come together. **Note to self: next time you are really excited about seaming, and how fun it is and then you start getting cocky about how fast you are, do NOT forget about the armholes and seam both sides all the way to the collar. This is not a tube top. And pulling out mattress stitch is NOT fun. **

The shoulder seams were harder for me because I wasn't sure what to do. The lace makes nice curves at the top of each side, so I kind of followed the curves and I now have a matching lacy ridge on each shoulder. It looks like it's supposed to be there...is it? I have no idea.
