This top has been finished and blocked for some time now, but it’s been hard to find the time to get some photographs. It’s been a hectic week with a sick and cranky 1 yr old. These could be better, but I’m trying to let go of perfectionistic tendencies, so here’s today’s result. 
I made a few modifications to the Notched Hem Top pattern. I made the back about an inch and a half longer than the front. There is plenty of sloping after the back short rows, so I don’t know if I would repeat that action if I make another. I also started with the 40″ size at the bottom and reduced to the 37″ size by adding in extra decreases. 
The yarn is Juniper Moon Farm in Zooey. The color is Sloop. This is a wonderfully soft yarn. 
I made the neckline deeper and wider than the pattern specified. I didn’t take notes. I just winged it as I went along, and I like how it turned out. I wanted a bit more open neck to keep things cooler since this is such a long piece. 
One side of the front and of the back is looser. I think this is due to the nature of the slipped stitch on the knit sides vs. the purl sides. If I could do it over I would use an edge stitch that makes both sides a bit firmer for consistency. It doesn’t really bother me, but it’s a detail I’d pay attention to next time.
Now I will wear the heck out of it! I’ve finally decided how I will do the neckline of Talavera, so that’s getting some much needed love. I also needed another Whispers and deemed it the perfect project for the Hazel Knits Artisan Sock in Saffron, so that will be in the works soon as well!
That is beautiful and it looks great on you. The colour is scrumptious.
In my own projects, it’s always bothered me that SSK and K2tog don’t look enough the same. But your top turned out very nicely!
Love the color!
Very nice! It looks pretty and cool and fits perfectly.
Love it! Nice job!
Ohmygoodness~! Well done! I love all your pretty summer knits 😉
How lovely! 💖
I love this. Perfect summer top!
I love your raspberry top and your up-braids!
Beautiful colour on you. Lovely finish
This is a beautiful colour and it complements your so well! 🙂 (also, i love your braids!) Hope the small one is getting better, too. 🙂
Good job lady!
Looks absolutely great on you!
Great work. The design is perfect for you and the color is fabulous.
Such a great colour on you, and it looks like something you’ll get to wear a lot. I’ve been eyeing this design for a while, seeing pretty ones like yours makes me want to rearrange my queue!
This top is so adorable! I have multiple different colors of this in my stash queued for other projects but I think those are about to change. Thanks for sharing!
