HP's Weekender Cool, Calm & Cowl-necked Top, and Ribbing Material

HP 1105 Weekender Cool, Calm & Cowl-necked TopMonths ago (last summer?), I downloaded HP's free Cowl-necked top pattern from Fabric.com.  I never did anything with it because I could not find any ribbing material here in the UK.  Yes, I found some black and some cream down in the West End, but I wanted COLOUR!  
Now, I have found Dots N Stripes, an online fabric store based out of Scotland.  Dots N Stripes is mostly fabrics for children's clothes, but they had plenty of different ribbing fabrics.  I bought their Cerise Pink ribbing and Jersey Fuchsia. I think the colours are a near perfect match.
I just need to pre-shrink the fabric and finish the white T-shirt I was supposed to sew this week!
