Little summer top

Here's a progress shot of my summer top from craftster. I'm using araucania nature cotton in turquoise. I love using up stash yarn instead of buying more (who doesn't?), even though my stash is relatively small compared to others.


I did a mini swatch with the yarn my dye-o-rama pal dyed for me, unfortunately I'm not getting gauge for pomatomus. I'm getting about 7sts/in vs 8sts/in. Alas... I think the yarn would make a nice shawl for the fall though. I might dye up some yarn for pomatomus. Here's a yucky picture of the swatch (my camera died after taking this picture)
