Karla Kizer said... I've passed up this pattern because the drawings did nothing for me. BIG mistake. Huge! Love your top, and especially love your great idea for the contrast and facings. Excellent. 12/26/05 5:39 PM

KathleenS said... I like your tops and I agree that the contrast armhole band technique in the pattern is not the right way to do it. 1/13/06 6:29 PM
Hilary said... This looks *very* good! I love all your different versions! if I don't already have this I'm going to get it :D Sad that I don't know, huh? LOL 2/4/06 12:35 PM
