Historical version 8 of Kake's Purple Shapely Tank Top (view current version)
Completed Sunday 21 September 2003
- Shapely tank top pattern - http://www.whiteliesdesigns.com/patterns/lpullovers/fbc.html
- I made the 44 inch bust size, but the pattern as written was too big at the armholes and much too big at the shoulders. I ripped it back and made only two increases after the waist shaping. I used one set of short rows at the bust. It fits good now.
- Added mosaic motif (in black) from http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEsummer03/FEATslipstitch.html - the one with the nested squares (see photo to right).
- Yarn is Jaeger Aqua 100% cotton DK, shade 320 (a dark purple), dye lot 14I1
Techniques learned on this project: Short rows, [mosaic knitting]?.
