Princess Tee?


I'm still debating whether or not to call it something like "Princess Tee" or "Kahlan."

I've already used up 2 1/2 skeins. Yeah. I'm definately going to have to buy more. I would loooove to knit another one with a few simple modifications, and another type of yarn. I love the elasticity of this yarn, but something really soft like alpaca would be really nice too.

What do you think? I'm going to do 2 more ribbings before I go knitting solid again. I'm also debating about what I should do about the bottom. Of course, the most natural thing to do is a few ribbings.... but I think I would be dissatisfied with the results, since of my wide hip frame. I also thought about ribbing all the way down, but I thought that might accent the stomach area.
I'm still planning on adding beading and such to the material (yeah, after-the-fact-- but I don't have access to a craft store at the moment, and thought of it too late).

I have the neatest idea for a matching skirt for the raglan tee! It will look amazing together (I hope).

Also........
I just discovered the awesomeness of my non-univeristy public library on campus!! They have everything! Their knitting selection is huge! Here's some patterns that I liked when I went through Twinkles' Big City Knits & the 2005 Vogue Knitting magazine:

I like the name umm Lilyann or something for it. It's very pretty & I love the colour choice. Right now I'm trying to design a sock pattern =)

I like how it looks vaguely sci-fi (but in a good way).
