Momvoli pics
Here are pics of my mom's Tivoli in progress. These are from Sunday, and I've done another 2.5 or 3 inches of the waist decrease section since then.
Stats:
Yarn: Knitpicks Shine in Orchid (when I took the pictures, I had used 1.5-2 balls. I'm estimating 4-4.5 for this one)
Needles: size 5 denises
Stitch gauge: about 5.5 st/in
I made the yoke according to the 31" bust version of the original pattern (since replaced by Picovoli in MagKnits). However, I added an additional two increase rows to bring it up to the bust size I wanted. This time, I'm following Grumperina's advice to the letter, and using much more negative ease than I used for my own I am very pleased with the fit so far:

Doesn't that almost work as a layered crop top?

Hey hottie mom. She looks great, and so does the sweater. Nice work.
Would you mind sharing the code for your WIP % bars? I have WIP graphics on my blog, but I'm tired of the huge cartoonish images. Mind if I copy-cat?
Your mom is definitely a supermodel, and the tivoli looks like it's going to fit her well.
I browsed the rest of your blog and looks like you have the same taste as I do, so I'm excited to see what else you have up your designing sleeve. Soul looks especially intriguing, so I can't wait to see what you finally do with it.
I moved away from Cambridge about a year ago, and I really miss it. It is after all, almost my favorite time of year there.
Cheers!
It looks great even mid-knitting! So is this the point where you start the waist decreases, or earlier? I'm a bit higher in the breast area on mine (it would definitely not look good as a crop top, unless it was at a strip joint ;)
Yep, that's where I started decreasing; just past the point where the bust curves under.
