Gold Summer Top

[mwedzi]

I LOVE it! Oh my goodness, I am not even going to lie to you all, I am insanely proud. Truly, my pride has reached the level of insanity. I made this with Elann's Endless Summer Luna in Aztec Gold, very rich color and shiny and very reasonably priced. Trimmed in a ribbon yarn, Online Linea 118 Vision in Chrysanthemums. I've already bought the yarn to make another in sage. Next time I will write down the pattern as I go to share with others.

I love it and the color is fabulous !!! - where is your head?? :think

lol, no head means more room in the pic for the top! besides, my hair is kinda messed up. :blush but if you really wanna see my head, it's in the "hey, ma, i'm a model" pic.

Beautiful!!

[pragmatica]

Just SO beautiful! I can't believe you can do this and work on your doctorate at the same time (unless this is your reward for slogging through whatever needs to go in chapter 2).

Just amazing. Whatever you're doing to keep your professional focus and also make these gorgeous original designs, keep doing it. (And if you can figure out how to bottle it, you'll make a mint.)

--Elissa

[mwedzi]

Thanks again everyone. :)

Oh, am I in school? that's right, I had totally forgotten. okay, i didn't forget but i did start slacking. i hate school. i'm burned out. i don't want to study this irrelevant mess anymore. *sigh* so i crochet to escape. Okay, enough of that, back to "The Syntax of Ditransitives". :(

Wow, very pretty! You should be really proud of it, it looks great. Now that it has gotten so warm in Chicago this week, I'm sure you'll get lots of use from it. I love that is looks great with jeans, but could be dressed up a bit to.

[mwedzi]

Thank you again, everybody. And yep, since it was so warm, I wore the top last Thursday. I was so happy, it was warm, sunny, birds were chirping and bushes were showing little tips of green, I could smell the hyacinth everywhere and I was wearing a sunshine colored top I made myself. I was all full of the warm fuzzies.:manyheart

[yarnlover66]

I love that! It is so pretty! Wish I had your figure so I could wear something like that!
