Here she is:
Pattern: Knitty's Isabella, size M
Yarn: Dale of Norway Stork, color 35
Needles: Size 4 Addis
Modifications: I didn't do the picots because my last tank had a picot edge. I did a single crochet all around the arm holes & the bottom. I also decreased 4 extra stitches on each armhole because I thought it looked a little too bulky on the model. I would do even more if I could do it over.
Done, done, onto the next one:
This is the yarn that came in the other day for Sahara. I'm starting it today. Yay!

This is the first Isabella I've seen done. You did a great job! Do you mind if I add the photo to my flickr album?
You are SUCH a goddess!
Now I need you to teach me to switch to continental, too.
Perhaps if I *ever* get to see you again!
Did the yarn requirements for Isabella actually work out for you? I'm terrified that if I buy the recommended yarn - Rowan, even! - I'd be spending less than $40. :)
Cathy, I bought 5 balls of the Stork (very similar yardage to the 4 ply), and only used 4 of them. Now, I didn't do the picots on the bottom or the arms, so that would have eaten some of the 5th ball if I decided to do them. But, yeah, the total price for the top was $20. Can't beat that!
So if I wanted to live the stitches live on the shoulders and do a 3 needle bind off if doesn't work? Can you tell what made it look funny?
Isabella came out wonderful! You look great in it too!
Great yarn, I love Premiere!
