Very cute! I love the keyhole back and the pleats on the sleeves!

Melissa, it is amazing! I just love all of the details – specifically the cabled shaping around the waistline. Beautiful work – another great design from Miss M!! :)

but wow, that would take me forever to make on size 2 needles :) i need to step up the pace.

Wow, that’s beautiful! Its pretty rare for me to *really* like a top or garment (other than socks, small projects) in handpainted yarn, but yours and the yarn just looks wonderful paired together.

Wow, that is beautiful! I’m putting it on my to knit list!

What a great design, love all the little details- especially the keyhole back!

Wow, that’s really beautiful. You have a knack for nicely proportioned garments with well-chosen design details.

Another beautiful design! I want one.

Love it! i love all the delicate design features. Congrats on another great pattern.

Yay Melissa!!!! It’s beautiful! I absolutely love it. I just may have to start knitting again because I MUST have that.

I like the cable detail on the waist to provide some shaping. And the keyhole in the back is a nice touch as well.

Melissa, it’s great! It’s nice to see patterns for small gauges out there. Are you offering the pattern for sale? I checked the link you provided and it appears the pattern is available only with purchase of the yarn.

Another beauty Melissa! I love the waistline and back neckline details and the style is so-o-o forgiving! (Stylish and yet not clingy – somedays I want that). It’s on my “To Do” list!

Very nice top! I would totally go buy that, but I wear a plus size. (hoping to remedy my size situation soon….so I can buy awesome patterns like yours.

What a cute, cute pattern! Well done.

I’ve just seen the top on the Hipknits website, and have to congratulate you on the publication – it’s gorgeous and I especially love the shaping & keyhole back.

That is so absolutely divine! If I weren’t in a quick-knit mode (DK or heavier, please) as I have a toddler and thus little knitting time, I’d be all over it! Lovely details. A classic.

That’s gorgeous, Melissa!!
August 24th, 2006 @ 6:23 am

Wow !! but for the tiny gauge (to my taste and little available knitting-time), I’d have already bought it !!! I still may tho, it’s so perfect and cute and well designed ! I’m wisting it !
