is it summer yet?

At one of the SnB nights, I was sitting next to Heidi and mentioned I was looking for a summer top pattern. Soon after, she sent me this link. I perused through the extensive links looking for a pattern that would call out to me, "knit me, knit me..."

It was 1:30am on a Saturday night, when I found the beaded cami. This was it...my summer cami.
The following Thursday, off I went to This is Knit with the pattern in hand. In consultation with Lisa, I choose this yarn:

The next step was to knit my swatch... After swatching and checking my gauge, I dropped to a 3.5mm size needle instead of the 4.0mm.

After many false starts and an email to Nora, the designer of the beaded cami. I finally cast on 242 stitches on circular needles.
