Summer tops

Tank #1 was  intended for my sister, but for some reason it ended up more my size. So even though I didn't intend this for me,  I like it!

 Sorry this picture is a little dark. I look thrilled in this picture!

Lace Cami, from LMKG.

Yarn: KP Shine, in cloud, 6 skeins

Needles: Size 6 addi

Time: ? (gee I haven't been very good at keeping track of these things!)

Well  it is soft and lightweight, perfect for summer. I am not the strappy tank type, but I rather like this! Sorry Rachel, I will think of something special for you to make up for this:)

Tank #2

Ms. Marigold

Yarn: Rowan Lightweight DK wool, nine skeins

Needles: Um 6's I think

Time: Started July 4th- Finished July 10th

Modifications: um I had some issues with this pattern, so I had to just "make it work". I did do about half the ruffle than the pattern said:

but I think it is rather cute this way. Looks less like wings.  So I have to items I will actually wear this summer. Although I am starting to rethink knitting ms. marigold in wool (laugh Allison, I know you want to).  But I  know that the top will carry me to winter with a nice white button down blouse. 

So I think I have finally have  posted all my finished objects, and of course I have started new thing... more socks and Picovilo to come!

I never thought of knitting the LMKG cami in Shine - it looks really nice!!!!!

[yahaira]

they both turned out cute!

I thought you used 7's on the marigold? remember, I made fun of you or something like that?

[grumperina]

Those are adorable!!! I'm glad you're keeping the Shine one for yourself :). I think the brown one will be great over a white blouse for fall/winter, too!

[Chris]

I love the lace edging on the cami!

[Aija]

Both look great!!

[Sandra]

both tops look AMAZING on you. fabu job, joelene! i especially love Ms. Marigold. the color is so purty. . .

[Angela]

Love both tops! Did you mod Ms. Marigold to make the V less.. showy? Also I know what to do with my KP Shine now. I love that cami!

[hillary]

I love the cami but I'm a little stumped on what LMKG is.

[Jes]

They look great! My LMKG tank came out bigger than I thought it would too. It's not you, it's the pattern ;)

[pretendingsanity]

laughing... just for you.

[Charmaine]

I love both! They look very cute and I think you look like a rockstar!

[Amy]

Both of your new sweaters look great!

[jennie]

Oooh! lovely! I've had that lace cami in my cue for a while, with some beautiful silk to knit it with. It's nice to see it knit on someone else. What did you do about ease? negative ease?

And Ms. Marigold will make a lovely autumn sweater (I'm a huge, huge fan of sweater vests. Maybe this is why my friends tell me I dress like an old lady!)

They both look great! I would have never considered the LMKG tank. It looks so hard to wear in the book, but yours looks beaufitul.

[nikki]

I'm making Ms. Marigold, too. :) I ran into issues with fit, so I frogged what I had and started over. Fun.

Anyhoo, yours looks lovely, I like the color. It would totally look cute as part of a fall wardrobe.

[Faith]

Cute! I especially like the brown sweater. Even though you were fudging with the pattern, it still looks adorable. Those socks came out nicely too! Anyway, how can you not like something called "lemongrass"? =)

[Gina]

Super lovely creations.

[sunflowerfairy]

Your lace cami looks 1000 times better than mine ever dreamed of being. And I am sooo jealous.
