Wow, that's beautiful! Its pretty rare for me to *really* like a top or garment (other than socks, small projects) in handpainted yarn, but yours and the yarn just looks wonderful paired together.

Yay Melissa!!!! It's beautiful! I absolutely love it. I just may have to start knitting again because I MUST have that.

I like the cable detail on the waist to provide some shaping. And the keyhole in the back is a nice touch as well.

Melissa, it's great! It's nice to see patterns for small gauges out there. Are you offering the pattern for sale? I checked the link you provided and it appears the pattern is available only with purchase of the yarn.

Another beauty Melissa! I love the waistline and back neckline details and the style is so-o-o forgiving! (Stylish and yet not clingy - somedays I want that). It's on my "To Do" list!

Very nice top! I would totally go buy that, but I wear a plus size. (hoping to remedy my size situation soon....so I can buy awesome patterns like yours.
