I find the top down in the round patterns to be very helpful in getting a good fit, and they can easily be changed with the addition of lace or cables for different looks.

For all the ladies fascinated on the no animal fibres, please check on the website www.rosehavenfarm.net. They carry bamboo, soysilk, organic cotton, linen, corn, viscose, etc.

Thanks for the wonderful top - I'm hoping that I'll be getting Amy's book next week for my birthday.

I love the site, keep up the fantastic work!

PS. Renee W: Check out knitty.com. I'm just about to finish up my first proper garment, based on a pattern from there, and I've been knitting since January. They're great for new knitters and older knitters alike!

I had trouble downloading the pattern. I have downloaded free patterns before (the vine baby hat). Not sure what gives. I have some lavender yarn I bought at Stitches several years ago and I thought Aha! this might be a good match.

This is one of my favourite patterns in this book because I absolutely love the top down construction. I've been designing my own patterns this way for awhile now and things actually fit better this way. I also love the waist shaping. I have curves (okay a lot of curves) and boxy sweaters just don't flatter.

Something is wrong. I am a member, I have been a member since the beginning, but it keeps wanting me to sign up. I did. Then it said I already was signed up...HELP!

Thank you so much for bringing up the topic of wool allergies. I'm actually waiting for my copy of No Sheep For You from Amazon and now I'm more anxious then ever to receive it after your comments. Love the new site and have been visiting every day. I have one request though. I know I can't be the only one with a wool sensativity (anyone with eczema or with an allergy should not be handling wool). I would love to see Knitting With Non-Wool Fibers as one of the chat topic options. As a knitter/weaver/spinner being told I can't be around wool anymore was devistating and challenging. It would be great to be able to share that experience with other people who are trying to convert patterns and subsitute fibers. It would be a great resource for us. Keep up the good work!

What a lovely top. I started it last night - lucky to find enough cotton yarn in my stash. It takes quite a lot doesn't it for a short sleeve top.
And I have ordered the knitting book No Sheep for You from out local library.
Thank you very much for all you do.
The knitters in my Knit club at the library love the free patterns. We meet every Friday.

Thank you SO much!! This is great--I have this and the Lotus Blossom Tank pattern for free all because of you! That book is on my list of must-haves! Can't wait to knit a Tomato and can't wait to see the colors you chose--a sneak peek pretty please?!

This is my kind of pattern. I avoid seams at all costs and prefer knitting with circular and double pointed needles for that reason. Also, knitting from top down allows me to try it on as I go and adjust it needed.
