much better
I finished my second edition of “Picovoli.” It really has nothing to do at all with Picovoli except that I re-used the yarn from my first attempt.
I’m really proud of this one. I took some guidelines from some pattern software the store has, and made this totally my own. It has everything I wanted, open raglan shaping, folded hem sleeves and hem, minimal waist shaping, crew neck. I think the only thing I would really change about this would to be make it have a little more open neck and the color. This color is fine, but definitely not what I would pick were I given a rainbow of choices. But overall, I’m thrilled.
Yarn: All Seasons Cotton color #186, discontinued
Pattern: my own
Needles: Addi turbos #8 32″
Time frame: Cast on 5/27/06, finished 6/1/06
I can never take good pictures of myself with this camera.

Very pretty. I have plans to do the picovoli on vacation in a few weeks, we shall see if mine comes out as nice as yours!

Yay! you had enough yarn and it fits perfect….
I love the hem and the neckline! But most of all the waist shaping!
You must share your secrets!

IT looks great!
I’m glad ripping the whole thing out and starting over worked for you :)

Very nice, I’m impressed….
I think I want to try to do a halter in honor of the summer…we’ll see- I figured I needed to pick something that would actually keep my interest for now…

Very cute. You gave me the motivation to go rip out my Nothing But a Tee that I hate and re-do it eventually.
