I finished the purple top today, while driving up to Taos (to have breakfast with a friend, can anyone say hello Julia Roberts?) I decided to do ribbon for the straps, instead of the spaghetti straps. I rather like it, although I think it will fit better (and hang a little less) once I block it.
I started it on May 7th and finished May 19th. I used TLC Cotton Plus yarn (cheap, but I figured it would do the trick) and made a size medium. Again wondering if I shouldn't go smaller. What do people think is the best way to get your size right? I measured around the "outside" of my chest - and yet things keep being too large.
And yes - you might be wondering ... my husband did have something very colorful to say about this top as well, "The ribbon is pretty. Are you planning on wearing the rest of it outside the house though? That could quiet possibly be the most hideous top on the planet. Do they have competitions for things like that?"

These mouthy husbands out there are pissing me off. RUDE! Don't they know that we are royalty to them and should be treated as such? Sheesh.
That top is too cute! I love the ribbon, so at least he's ok on THAT.
Your husband cracks me up. He must be kin to mine. Girl you look fierce in that top. Do you try on as you go? I guess I should ask first, if it's even knit in the round?
