Cranberry Topper




At last, I made something for myself! I love the feel and the style of this pullover knit top. I used Vogue Pattern #8323 (a great pattern with many variations). It's super easy to put together, and it only used 7/8 of a yard of fabric..which means I created this top from a remnant! I'm going to make this again, in various colors. Next time, I might try a lighter-weight knit, just to see what happens.
