That's just lovely and should be very wearable with either jeans or something less casual. I assume you can play with the lace-ups so that you can use ribbon on days you feel sweet and leather on days you don't.

Looks fantastic! Looking forward to starting this pattern. I'm planning on giving it for a Christmas present, so no rush. Thanks for sharing your progress!!

I think of Brilla as a DK weight myself. I must not have ever read the ball band because I've always knit it on 6's. It looks fabby. Can't wait to see it in person!

That's a nice looking top. I wouldn't have guess from the pattern's picture that it was knitted quite that way. That's clever enough to intrigue me! However, doesn't it have about a zillion buttons? I always worry about gap-age with a close-fitting top and buttons.

I'd never seen that pattern, but how pretty. It's gonna look amazing on you, I can just picture it. Must be good to make you revert to pattern following.

I too bought that pattern a few days ago. my intention was to use a silk yarn I have had in my stash for some time now, unfortunately it didn't work out - but I also have some brilla stashed away. hmmm, I might try that instead)

as always, your knitting looks really great

I just found your site by following the link from Annie Modesitt's site. I'm also knitting the Corset top.

I just looked at your patterns and *love* Bella Paquita. I. Must. Have. It.
