Pattern: Prosperous Plum
Size: 32" finished bust
Yarn: Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece; 2.5 skeins "Dusty Sage"
Modifications: very few. I made it two inches longer (1 inch below the waist shaping; 1 inch above) to accommodate my height. I worked two rows of single crochet for the edging instead of two rows of crab stitch (since I don't know what that is).
Thoughts: I love this pattern. It is worked in the round with only two short seams for the shoulders. The pattern is made up of two simple charts. The only slightly tricky part is the picot edging, which requires a provisional cast on and seam. The designer recommends four inches of negative ease, which seems to be about right. As I already mentioned, mine ended up with only two inches of negative ease, and it is a little looser than I would have liked. Still, it fits pretty well and is comfortable and very wearable.
It is lovely!!
ReplyDeleteHow many dollars for a what???? For crying out loud, yarn is cheaper and more fun.

ReplyDeleteIt turned out fantastic! Did you try googling "crab stitch"? That's been really helpful for me in finding things I didn't have in a book already.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! It looks to me like it fits you well.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I do believe in what spanx can do. Although it may only go where you want it to if you stand on your head. :—)
It is awesome!! I think you could well be the fastest knitter I know.
ReplyDeleteI really love the picot edge. Good work with the provisional cast on, I've never done it.
