long and short

Posted August 5th, 2012 by lily and filed in knitting, Uncategorized

Browsing in Topshop a while ago, a cute top caught my eye.  It was bright white, loosely knit and with a stepped hem at the back.  Part of me said “Just buy it!”, but there’s always something that holds me back with knitwear.  Do you ever think  ’But I could knit that myself’?  I even had a suitable yarn.

A fortnight’s knitting time and a little extra waist shaping later, I had myself that little cute top.

    I have a little cardi at home that I would love to replicate but I’m not there yet unfortunately. Very well done! It looks really nice on you! Have a great weekend!

    You need to make more pieces like this Lily!x

    Your cute top beats all of the high-low dresses and tops that I’ve seen all summer. Looks lovely!

    You’re really starting to look quite beautiful! I know that isn’t about your knitting, but that is what I kept thinking. We’re in Wales tonight and heading to Bath; I wish I’d tried to get in touch with you sooner to meet during this trip!

    Love it! Any plans for a pattern at any point? (Oh, and I’m Caroline’s mum, you met her with Jeni :D )
