Let the Vacation Countdown Begin!

T minus 6 days 'til I'm headed for Jamaica. I can't wait!!!! And lookie what got done in record time so that it could join me in the Caribbean:


While vacation was one reason I was inspired to knit this, I also have the Antropologie sping Knit Along (KAL) to thank. Every season the Anthro group on Ravelry kicks off a KAL with a theme appropriate for the season. This season's is tank tops. But since I got this done in a jiffy, I plan to knit another top so that I can participate more fully in the KAL fun.

Oh, and I posted this pic in my the KAL group and got a lot of oohs and ahhs over the ribbon I chose. The funny thing is that I didn't have any ribbon on hand after I finished this top and was too lazy (and cheap) to run out and get some, so I used a fabric sash that I stole from my mom when I was about 12 years old and was all about wearing fabric belts and scarves as headbands. (What can I say, I was big into the TV show "Blossom.")
