I finally got all of the finishing work done on my Sleeveless Tuxedo Shirt, and it turned out AMAZING! I love it soooo much! The finishing part took me a lot longer than I thought it would. There was single crochet around all of the edges, and a crochet scallop around the 'tuxedo/lace insert' part, but all in all it was totally worth it! I found the buttons on sale at JoAnn's on Wednesday. I paid 0.50 for 2 packages of 4. They are La Mode brand, and look just perfect on the shirt.

Last week I bought the Fall issue of IK, and I'm already trying to figure out which one I want to buy yarn for and cast on! I knew there were some cute things, but WOW! I also bought a Patons book with a bunch of cabled patterns in it. I've never tried cables before, but between that and the new issue of IK I'm bound to figure th
em out and try my hand at it. I really need to finish some of my other WIP's before I try to start learning cables........

It's beautiful! Love it in pink too, never would have thought to use that yarn I might have to buy some for it!
It looks lovely on you (and the pink is great)!
I agree that this is even better than the one from the magazine-- wow. Great job!
Oh, your shirt totally blows away the one in the magazine ... fab! Although I'm not a pink fan, it was the perfect choice and you look stunning in it!
You look stunning! I agree with the person who said it looks better than in the magazine.
