Summer knitting

I have completed 2 knitting summer tops this past week. 
The white one is my own design and I made the pattern. That is how I learned to knit at age 12 years old. I get a non stretch top that fits well, measure it, draw a sketch; and after I make a gauge patch for the thread used, I calculate the number of stitches, rows, etc to fit the sketch created. It is not difficult, it is simple math.
The pink top is even easier, the pattern is a free download on Ravelry website.
It is called Bamboo Summer Top by Nancy Ricci. 
I did not use a bamboo thread, mine is actually recycled silk and cotton. It is a very pattern to make; but I am making a few changes on my own.
