The whole top down knitting thing was fun and made it so easy to try it on as I went.  I was loving the top until I went to pick up stitches for the trim around the neck.  I did it twice and still had some puckering.  After the second attempt, I decided it was good enough and just left it as you see it.  Hopefully, I'll get better at the whole picking up stitches thing as the new pattern I just started involves a lot of it.

Another hit! Hooray. Can't wait to see the hot pink top. It looks like it might be a little holey. Great picture, too. Thanks Loops.

Very very nice. It looks great. I can't believe that you actually made the whole thing with your own hands. Wow!
