I started this little knitted top ages ago, like several years, and I’m glad to have finally finished it. If I’d known that it was going to turn out so cute and well-fitting, I would have worked to finish it sooner! I’m very pleased with the fit, and pleased with the process to arrive at the fit – It’s knitted in one piece, in the round, from the neck down. So, I could try it on as I went, and also it’s seamless so I didn’t have to sew a single seam. The finishing consisted of picking up stitches for the neckband and armbands, and also turning under and tacking down the ends of my spiral-stripe magic trick – there is no messy join where I had to change colors, I just knitted around in a spiral, one color at a time, one row per color. Pretty sweet!
