Fifi is done and FIFI elle c'est magnifique! I loved knitting this top. The yarn is Rowan Calmer (almost 4 skeins) and the pattern was interesting and fun to knit. I had only one issue with the design. Where to draw the line? The pattern was designed with the line demarcating the separation of the top cables and the body ribbing hitting just above the breast. However, upon reflection, I wasn't sure that I was entirely comfortable with that look (if you know what I mean). I therefore put the question to clever DB (aka: Steve) and design savvy Mr. Puffy (who is always dressed appropriately). After much conferring and whispering between these two they pronounced that the line should, yes it really should, go just below the breast! And so that is what I did. Love, love, love this top!
P.S. I also added significant side shaping. I took it down 20 stitches and back up 16 stitches to achieve a fitted top without relying on the cables and ribbing for fit. I also lengthened the top to 12.5 inches below the arms as I prefer my tops a little longer than what the pattern called for.
