Toothpaste stripes

 

Hello all!  This is another New Look 6216 with long sleeves made from a lovely thick cotton interlock. The lady in the shop almost put me off it by saying the thin stripes would drive me mad whilst sewing it, but it was fine. In fact, I love the toothpaste stripes - it reminds me of a RTW top I had as a teenager (and still own).  The computer doesn't like it, though, and so the pictures have to be larger than normal not to blur on the screen!

 

You can see that this is a big baggy top, and I know that is not everyone's cup of tea. But sometimes it is just what I want. 

  

I got the neckband in well this time - no puckers!  Hurrah!  You can probably see it is standing proud on one side: never mind! Thinking positive: I am getting better and that's all that matters. 

I am pleased with how easy this was, so more knit tops are on the horizon. I'm now on the look out for a new (easy) pattern...
