Hi Ruth I just found your website and I love this top. I really enjoyed reading how you got from idea to final sweater. Those colors are very good on you.

That sweater is amazing! I love every little detail of it, and it is so extremely flattering on you. Bravo for making the variegated yarn look so lovely in a sweater, too.

Absolutely gorgeous. The use of the wave and box stitch pattern is genius.
Perfect way to use variegated yarn.

Yeah! Another winner!! I’ve loved watching this one unfold and it’s gorgeous. The “T-topper” thing had me imagining more of a drapey fit, but this is even more flattering and so well suited to the silk and the stitch pattern I think. Thanks for sharing your process, it’s always enjoyable and educational!

Not only is it beautiful but I am surprised at how form-fitting the “t-topper” shape turned out to be. I mean this in the best of ways! Definitely a very pleasing, not-busy use of variegated yarn, for a Missoni-type sweater.
