I think the one you made in size 12 looks nice (even though you say it's too small) but the other navy one is beautiful too. Nice work Honey.<br /><br />Do you usually use size 12? I am wondering if this is a "generous" pattern? A lot of knitted fabric patterns are (the cut is nothing like you get with rtw - why is this exactly?). If I do get this pattern I will be using a woven so I guess it will mean a bit of fiddling anyway. I was attracted to this pattern 'cause it is sort of similar to this vintage pattern:-<br /><br />http://www.ornamentgal.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&product_id=1807&category_id=25&option=com_virtuemart<br /><br />Which is really what I want! <br /><br />Anyhoo, nice blog Honey.<br /><br />If it makes you feel better I never know what to think too when people say "did you make that??"..... I think you did a great job and it looks fab.NessyShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09185352035913067509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-13858726246808012472011-02-21T07:08:20.268-05:002011-02-21T07:08:20.268-05:00Oh wow!

I have that pattern and have not sewn it because of the unfinished edges (you don't find that out till you read the instructions, do you?!) But with your PERFECT solution, now I have one more workable pattern.

I was concerned that with a dolman sleeve there would be too much fabric pooling around under the arms, but I see from your top that's not the case. Your technique is so much smarter than the pattern - how could the professional pattern designers not work that out?Kristy Chanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07385704380789244157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-61717854490675832762011-01-28T21:37:01.107-05:002011-01-28T21:37:01.107-05:00I heard allegations of thundersnow, but didn't...I heard allegations of thundersnow, but didn't hear any.

Now homemade is often more expensive than store-bought, made by someone who is enthusiastic if not exactly talented, and it's the quality standards quickly reach the level of the most expensive rtw. So switch your mind, as life as switched on us..Marie-Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8600319387472537110.post-72923827631215260692011-01-27T01:37:02.501-05:002011-01-27T01:37:02.501-05:00I like the way this shirt looks on you!
