Apparently, I saw The Princess Bride a few too many times in my youth, because all I can think of when I hear the title of this knit is that movie. (I still love it, actually, and tend to answer "As you wish" when someone I love asks me to do something...)
At any rate, here she is, my very own Buttercup (Rav link). I purchased the yarn for this, Berocco NaturLin last spring when Stuart & I were on our honeymoon, but got occupied with other things once we returned (you know how that can be). I'm past all the increasing for the yoke, and have finished the feather & fan lace section across the front. The sleeve stitches are on a bit of yarn, waiting for their turn, and I'm in the sea of knit, knit, knit that the body consists of. There's something very soothing about stocking stitch, I'm quite enjoying it.
I love that movie too!!! we always say "Let me es'plain. No there is too much, let me sum up"
love the color, its gonna look great on you

As we have an Inigo in our house we say "my name is Inigo Mantoia - you killed my father prepare to die!" Love that top anyway but, your colour is really lovely!
