Ribbed wrap top

I'm warming up for the ravelry 'WIP cup', pulling out works-in-progress and trying to finish them up. Here's a project that's been hanging around for 3 years. It's a summery ribbed wrap top from Debbie Bliss's silk collection. It's pretty simple. But pretty nonetheless. And has a perfect non clingy drape for my post baby bod!

Not a lot to tell you about this one... I followed the pattern word for word. One exception though - I added a row of single crochet across all top edges (fronts, back and shoulders) to make them a little sturdier and a tad more 'polished'.

Other than that, I just wanted to add a little note to wish all Mums a Happy American Mothers Day (UK one was back in March. And yes, I'm trying to swing it with my husband that we celebrate both! ;o))))

Happy 1st Mothers Day Sam, I like the idea of celebrating both ;) Usually I am just sending my Mam something in March and I have to wait til May (why can't we have both)!
Love the wrap. I really need to get back to posting on my blog but I just don't have anything exciting to show.

I should have written sooner. Happy Mom's Day! Naomi is so darling! Just a peach! Don't you look at her and float with joy that cannot be contained? When I saw my daughter after she was born I said it was the only time I believed in love at first sight.
