First knitted top - Check!

It's been a year and a half since I started this whole knitting thing (I did take about 5 months off there in the middle somewhere, but there was still over a year of knitting that happened.) and I've finally completed my first top.  It was started near the end of January and took over 4 months to finish, which is pretty sad seeing as most people knit it up in a month or less, but I'm both a procrastinator and just naturally do everything at a slow pace, so 4 months really isn't that bad.  I suppose I should stop babbling and show it off, huh?

If you're wondering, that's my grumpy, I hate my picture taken, but I'm trying to hide it face and in no way reflects how I actually feel about the top.  The top is actually very nice and comfy and I'm very glad it fits.

I think I've decided not to put buttons on it.  I did the buttonband, but the 'v' isn't as deep as I thought it would be and I think it looks good as it is.

My thoughts on the pattern?  I think it's a great pattern for a first top.  You get to try things like lace, picking up stitches, and seaming with a pattern that is very forgiving as far as sizing goes because it is soooo stretchy.

So, do y'all like it?
