I went sort of crazy on this V-stitch shell and made it in three different colors (one was intended as a surprise for my dd but she informed me that she didn't care for it before she even knew it was going to be for her - sigh). I used Bernat Tots; I love their vibrant pastels but boy, the yarn really sheds all over the place. This turned out to be very annoying (I even carry a small lint brush with me when I wear one of these tops!) and it's pretty much what deterred me from making a 4th shell in Bernat Tots Grape. I already purchased that yarn though, so I guess I may actually have to use it for a baby item. However, especially because I have a skirt in mind that I want to wear it with, I still intend to make this top in lavender, but will most likely use Lion Brand Cotton in Grape instead.

I love you tops! Did you have any trouble with the patterns.
Thanks Karen!! No, the instructions for these were very clear. After reading your comment, I realized that I meant to include a link to them on Lion's website. You'll see the hyperlink to them now with "super easy shell". I've visited your blog before through Crochetville, that vest is the bomb!! :-)
Love the top great job. Seen your post on crochetville so wanted to check out your blog. Congrats on getting your blog started it looks nice. :)
I love all of these tops. When I get an opportunity, I'm going to have to take some time to get these started--that is after I finish an afghan I've already began.
Great and informative blog. Keep up the good work. The pictures are wonderful. I love the Mother's Day floral arrangement.
Great tops! Love the colors you used for them! Found your blog on crochetville. I'll be checking in.
