I'm one happy knitter!
Pattern: Summertime TunicDesigner: Katie Himmelberg
Source: Interweave Knits, Summer 2007. It's also a free pattern that you can download here.
Yarn: Reynolds, Gypsy. 100% cotton. 7 skeins.
Notes: The yarn was a bit 'stiff' to work with but once I finished and washed the piece it softened up. Kind of has a nice, denim-like finish.

Oh that looks fantastic!! It really flatters you too!! That was one quick knit.
That is marvelous! You look great in it! BTW: I love the Knitterella banner at the top of the page...with you laying on the ground surrounded in yarn. Really cute :-)

What a great project! I love the contrast ribbon, too.
Some people have complained about how deep the slit in front is. Yours looks great! Did you modify it?
Thanks everyone! I'm truely happy with this knit! :)
Jodi, I didn't modify the pattern, just pulled the straps pretty tight and then tied my bow that seemed to close my 'slit' up pretty good.
And actually, I made my 'ribbon' out of some fabric. I made sort of a bias tape of out some fabric from my stash. I liked the way it worked.
Thanks!
Jill
Wow, I love this Top!!
