Brigitte
Pattern: Brigitte from French GirlYarn: Body-Rowan Cotton Braid #356, Tassels-Rowan Summer Tweed #530
Comments:What drew me to this pattern, other than the fact that I love all the French Girl patterns, is the tassels on the bottom. I am a sucker for tassels. My mother had a skirt when I was growing up that had tassels on it that I admired.
I feel a bit exotic when I wear this. I love how it is subtly sexy. Yea for sassy knitting patterns!
This was a very easy pattern to knit and it is perfect for any of y'all who are looking for something handknit that you can wear during the sweltering summer.

That is really cute! You did a great job on it.
Very nice! Perfect for summer.
Super cute!
Did you see my post yesterday about the Louisa Harding Yarns? Do you have that in the shop? Do you sell Shingle?!?
lol
First of all, you have to remember that I have dial-up, so things load very slowly, especially pictures. I was getting nervous as the picture starts at your neck and scrolls slowly down, showing a lovely, lacey knit with only skin under it. It was definitely looking VERY sassy. I was relieved when it finally got to the tank top.
I don't know what happened to that skirt with the tassels. I loved it too. I must have finally worn it out. We could recreate a similar one. It was made from fabric that was relatively loosely woven. The last few inches were raveled out and then the vertical threads were tied into tassels. I'll keep my eye out for something like it. Then you could knit a top to go with it. TA-DA!
Totally cute! And I love that your yarn store is serving as a backdrop now :)
Tres chic! I lurve it! =)*)
Amy, that's simply beautiful! (It looks even better on you than it did on the pattern!) You sure have a knack for picking patterns that look great and are a bit out of the ordinary-- really, really pretty!
Look at all the knitting you're getting done now that the shop is open! This is so adorable on you!
It is so cute - is it knit or crochet?
it loos fab! on thrusday when you were wearing it i thought it was crochet? why didn't i ask so i could buy the pattern while i was there! ack! save me a copy ;)
Very cute! Great color too!
I love the top!! looks great on you...
The tassels would have done it for me too. Cannot resist tassels!
I LOVE that top!
I've got a cotton braid halter that needs to be recycled - I'm off to search out the pattern.
Take care and well done on the opening of Yarntopia!
see, that looks cute on you. I would look like an animal caught in a net with that on.
