Elsebeth notes, “Allium is both the Latin name for garlic and a general term for onion plants, and nearly all of them are edible. No matter which interpretation you choose, this Garden Delight ingredient gets a lot of use in our kitchen.”

Sweet lace pattern comes together with the swing of the peplum skirt to create a very wearable garment. Body and skirt are worked in the round, while lace sections are worked flat. “Even if you are not a dancer, wearing this top will most likely make you want to dance.”
