Ahhhh, i know this is an old thread but I am absolutely dying to make this too! Did you manage to understand it? 

Love that top! The patterned material is gorgeous 

This might be a stupid question sorry, I don't know much about dying!

I have this hoodie:

...which I'm going to resize to make it fit me, but it has horrible marks on it where its been left in the sun and its bleached the colour out  would it work to dye it back to the original colour, or would that affect the print? Thanksss!

Thanks for the comments guys 

That is really beautiful.  Is there any chance you will post a pattern?

I'm going to try and write this one up when I get the chance, so yes when I've done that I'll post it!

Finally finished sewing this up this morning, I haven't had much time for knitting lately because I started uni (which is amazing! Although it's in London, which is a bit scary after spending all my life in the english countryside!). Anyway, I love it very much! I originally planned a cowl neck, but ended up running out of yarn and I haven't gone yarn shop exploring here yet, so I changed my plans. I think I like it better this way anyway. Both cuffs and the waist border button up. It's my favourite made up pattern so far!

Here you go....

I'm Squirrellywrath! Got in today 

aaaah ahhhhhh only 225 people left in front of me!!!!! I'm at uni now though and most of my stuff is at home, so it's going to be really annoying when I do get on.....I'll probably still get addicted though 

Wow I love that neckline, it's beautiful! That's a real shame about the allergy after you put all the work into it, you should definately make a wool version though!

Rowan Big Wool - merino, super chunky, lots of pretty colours....what's not to like! 

aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh new knitty!!! 

Going on my will-knit-one-day list (it gets ever longer!):

Roam (LOVE this!)
Cherie Amour (and this...)

I'm so impressed with this issue, there's never this many things I want to knit! Better go buy more yarn....
