It has taken me about 2 years to knit the scarf in these photos. I do love the colour.
I did attempt binding the neckline with the coverstitch machine, but this also did not work out for me. I did give up rather easily though, thinking that I would wait for a fabric that liked to be folded into shape. This one was sort of spongy and recalcitrant. Instead, I followed the Vogue instructions for the binding and topstitched the result, trimming back the excess.

You're giving that new cover stitch machine a workout :) Love the colour.
The first photo made me think that the scarf and top were the same color. The color is great, and I like the shape of your shirt.
Beautiful colours - go coverstitch! I am sure you'll whip those bindings into shape soon. (I have looked into buying a coverstitch and I was told by the woman at the shop not to bother with a binding attachment it is too hard to make it work accurately- she said in industry they have a binder set up permanently on just the right setting which is impossible for a home sewer. )
Love the easy glamour of this top. I have the pattern and definitely want to make it up soon.
