Knitting for Summer

Yesterday I finished a summer top for Emma.  Last time she was home we picked out a pattern and some yarn.  It's a nice pima cotton so it should be cool.  I started it when she was here, and ripped it up after I had begun because I didn't like the way it was looking.  It's always painful to rip up something when you've put some hours of work into it, but I'd probably only worked on it for two or three hours at that point, and just wasn't happy with it.  So I tore it up and started over.  And I'm glad I did.  I started again with a slightly smaller needle, and it made a huge difference.  I think it turned out pretty cute.

And yes, the bottom is SUPPOSED to be uneven - I can't wait to see it on her.  The picture really doesn't do it justice.  the bottom part is sort of lacy since it was knit on larger needles.  It also looks much shorter in this picture than it really is.  I'll post a picture of her wearing it after she gets it.
