Eme said... You still look fab, fabric pucker and all. :) Still, that is a big reason why I have never made up this pattern. Even on the pattern cover you can see that the neckline has diagonal pull lines around the placket/bustline. That seems to be the case with every review picture I've seen, too, although some fabric choices hid it better than others. 11/30/11 3:23 PM

Elona said... Cute top, Deepika! But I understand your difficulty with the placket. These are very difficult to do neatly, and usually I find that the instructions are faulty. 11/30/11 8:03 PM
cleverkitty said... this is up next on my cutting table, I will keep all that you mentioned in mind, I'm wondering if I pivot and took one or two stitches in the corner before turning the corner again at the bottom of the placket... Also I'm with you on fleece, I use it for my cats bedding. Thanks for the review and your top looks cozy warm and the color suits you perfect. 12/1/11 9:14 AM
JEF said... It does look cozy and nice. The puckers? Well, NO ONE will notice if you were it out - they will be struck by the pretty color and coziness. However, it will make a super indoor comfy top too so there is no down side! 12/1/11 11:25 PM
Deepika said... Thanks for the kind comments. I do like the color and that's kind of the reason I made this. I wonder if it's worth fiddling with this pattern or time to move on. 12/2/11 9:32 AM
AnnieInNYC said... I love the color too, and it looks great on you. I think you could proudly wear this out. Not anyone will notice a tiny little pucker. 12/2/11 11:34 PM
