One Finished and another started

My next project is also being made using cotton yarn. This time I'm using I Love This Cotton (Hobby Lobby) in Brown. The pattern I am using is available on-line free at www.bernat.com and is called Bernat Cot'N Corn Eyelet Rib Top #451 and is labeled as an easy knit pattern. Finished bust size 55 inches using U.S. 6 and 7 needles.

Another Project Finished

This is a summer cotton sweater made using Lion Brand Organic Cotton Patter #79525AD, Empire Top. The pattern calls for very little embellishment just 9 buttons in the back. However, I also added matching ribbon to the top and empire waist and change brands of yarn to Caron Cotton for the bottom and straps for a little contrasting texture. Plus my original cotton yarn was Village Craft Cotton Cones.

New Project: Apricot top

The newest project which is about 1/2 way finished is a short-sleeved empire waisted top made of 4ply apricot cotton yarn. Brand name of the yarn is Lily Cotton "Sugar 'n Cream. It is the same brand as the hot green top that I finished recently. I did also revisit that top and added clear and lime green glass beads around the neckline. For this apricot top I have some silk ribbon to use for trim and also belt around the empire waist.
