Yummy! I just read Christina's review and now yours, Melissa. Looks like a great pattern to try.

Melissa, your sweater-knit top turned out great. Great color on you, too. Now that I am reading reviews mentioning the use of a coverstitch, I want one even more! Wonderful, very detailed review.

I love sewing with sweater knits...mostly sweater coats to date. These kinds of knits can be a bit ravelly, but the results are so worth it. Everyone will think you're an ace knitter, and you'll need to explain...FWIW, there were some cowl-neck worthy knits on gorgeousthings.com last time I looked....

I really like your your version - the colors are great! I have been keeping my eyes peeled for sweater knits... the online place I've seen them online is Emma One Sock... still looking for something <$20/yard!

Way cuter than WOF's pic! That looks so comfy cozy. Way to turn a bargain fabric into a fabulous garment!

Great looking top! And what a nice fit. I just saw some delicious sweater knits at Fabric Mart's site.

You are PRODUCTIVE girl! The knit looks high fashion not like a couple of bucks. Good job.

Boy, I wouldn't look twice at that pattern either, based on the photo, but yours looks SO nice! Don't you love it when you find something in you stash that ends up being just perfect? :o)

I don't have this issue, but I think it's a good thing to keep getting those magazines in the mail. Lots of really great things that stand the test of time.
