Poppy ran out of yarn

Another case of running out of yarn. And we'll just finish it off with this Kicky Ribbon.

This is honestly one of my favorite reasons for Top-Down knitting. But, this pattern starts at the hem. Wouldn't you know there wasn't going to be enough yarn and make something else? Is it just that they don't want to do all the knitting that goes into a regular length garment?

Are we past the crop top, midriff baring phase yet? Really, how many women should show their bellies off? Have you hung out at WalMart lately? Please! Enough! Cover that thing up.

Then there's the unexplained pattern name: Poppy?

I know poppies. I grow poppies. You are no Poppy.
