This is how it looks on the mannequin.
And how the garment actually looks when it's worn on me.
Pattern: From Vittadini pattern book.
Size made: Smaller than small (any surprise that I have yet again *downsized* the pattern?)
Yarn used: 6 balls of Gedifra Top Soft
Needles used: size 5.5mm & 6mm knitting needles
Time taken: 4 weeks from start to finish -- a little bit of procasination, a dash of overseas travel + some pattern deciphering.
My thoughts on this garment
Very modest neckline. The garment is really soft next to the skin and definitely very breathable due to the lace pattern used. The cables also added some texture.
This will definitely be a regular piece in my wardrobe.
Want to see another garment (WIP photo) that is done up in the same yarn? Check out my student's work! Now, hopefully I can keep going and finish off the other project too!

Hi Emilyn, here's checking out your blog after I saw the article in Urban. Love your FOs! (Eh.. I still have the yarn from long long ago when I first stepped into the Chinatown knit shop wif u.. in original state).
Great job!!!
That top looks sooooooooooooo much better on you than on the mannequin! I love pattern knitting much better than colorwork and you have done a beautiful job.
Gorgeous! Definitely looks better on you. Very pretty colour.
It looks great on you! I like the cable lace!
That's a fabulous piece and you look great in it!
That is one feminine and delicate top!
I love that top - you look fabuous in it!! Love the colour and the pattern. Have missed you in the last month!
One Word... WOW!!!!!!!!!
Emy...your top is absolutely gorgeous and love the color.
I love Adrienne Vittadini patterns! I knit Dianna from the same book that your pattern is in (There is a picture on my blog in the archives in May, I think). I thought about the pattern you knit. Was it hard? it looks beautiful on you! I will be knitting another Vittadini pattern from the most recent book soon.
How beautiful! I think it's just a lovely fit...I have always admited the Vittadini patterns.
This is so beautiful!!
It looks fabulous on you. I have this pattern too, but the size is too big for me. How did you make yours "smaller than small"? Can you share? Please please?!!!
Absolutely stunning. No other word for it.
