This is the adult version of the Ballet T-Shirt from the Teva Durham book Loop-d-Loop. It is also made with recycled yarn - slightly nubby cream & tan cotton from an American Eagle Outfitters sweater I didn't wear much. This top is so easy to make and I love wearing it. I made mine much longer than the book version, and like the kid's version, I added a single-crochet border around the neck and hem to minimize rolling.
I've been doing a lot of yarn shopping in my closet lately! This is a pink marled cotton Land's End sweater that was a gift. I love the double-pink color and the light, soft yarn, but the shape just wasn't right, so I'm remaking it into the Martine short-sleeved cardigan from a Debbie Bliss book.
And Rita might recognize this Bass sweater from a legendary outlet shopping trip. Regrettably this acrylic & wool sweater didn't make it into regular wardrobe rotation, but since I do love the color, I pulled it apart and it's waiting for the right pattern to come along.
