Pattern:
Calla
Yarn:
Knit Picks’ CotLin in Moroccan Red, just under 5 balls.
Comments:
Lengthened it by about 3.5 inches, pre-block. What is it with these short and cropped tops? Knit it in the round and only did the cables on the front. Ribbed on the back. Pattern = pretty. Yarn = melikes.
What am I knitting now? At the moment, nothing. I am napping. After that, we’ll see.

It looks lovely! That’s a very good colour for you. Enjoy the napping.

Hi Rosemary,
Love the finished project. The color is terrific! Glad to also see the pink socks completed. You were immersed in them the last time I saw you at Borders.
Love the shawl on the new yarn stores web site too….good job on the lace.

Very nice! I just love that color! And it seems like I’m always reading that knitters have had to lengthen their sweater patterns a few inches…are these designers just incredibly short-waisted or what? :)

You look maaaahvelous! Nice work and a very nice color on you, too;-)

Ha! Apparently I am the one these designers are designing for since I am short (and short waisted), yet I still always have to rework the waist shaping. I love the color of thiis FO! And it is amazingly flattering on you.

That’s so pretty!!
I hear you about the short tops. Some of us girls need longer to hide certain areas. Duh!

Very pretty! Red is a good color on you!

Hah! That’s exactly the amount of CotLin I have, in exactly the same color, which I have slated for exactly the same pattern, with exactly the same mods. Good to know there’s somebody else in the universe who thinks like I do. Did you think about widening the straps a bit? I’m wondering about that for mine.
