Draped Knitting: Cotton Tops For The Tail End Of The Philippine Summer

It took me quite some time to knit these tops because they were executed with thin, Philippine cotton thread on small-size needles. Angelique's top was begun July 2015 after my daughter-in-law, Ivy, passed away, and was completed August. I then commenced Aubrey's top the same month and finished it November 2015. Aubrey's top, using three shades of pink, required additional time because of the lush shirring.
