Premiere Swing Top is off the needles - and today was a perfect day to wear it (many grins)
The temperature is finally up to where it should be for this area (about 80 degrees) and we are all reveling in it.
I grabbed my camera on the way out the door this morning, in the hopes that I could persuade someone who works in my building to snap a photo or two - success. (I love it when a plan comes together) One of my neighbors was walking out of the building as I was going in (and yes, she's a knitter too!) She was so excited about my newest completion that she could hardly stop checking out the design long enough to snap a photo (so sweet).
pattern: Classic Elite Premiere Swing Top
source: CEY Summer Book 1
yarn: SWTC Craft color "martha" organic cotton & milk fiber
5 1/2 skeins
needles: size 6 & 5 (US)
Despite my "issues" with this yarn, I am totally pleased with the finished product. The top fits exactly as shown in the pattern book - it was a charming knit; just enough pattern detail to be interesting, not so much to be impossible.
Wanna see closer up? of course you do. (another grin)
It looks awesome! I love it!

It turns out great.(despite of the knots)
The swingy, lace bottom is so flattering and fun.

That is very cute! You look great in that color, too.
And by the way, what happened to summer? Nice yesterday, now it's cloudy and 65 and looks like it might rain. Dang. I'm sick of this weather.
