I used the directions as-written, except that I used a provisional cast-on (instead of picking up stitches from an icord) and then made the icord over all live stitches. This sweater certainly suggests curviness well, but doesn't accomodate it as well. If I knit this again, I'm going to eliminate a bunch of the stripes and make colour C gussets facing up as well as down. (To make bust darts, one would make strategically placed diamond-shaped darts. If anyone's curious how to do this, I can post the math.) For more pictures, see Woolly Mammoths.
Wow, your sweater looks awesome. Congratulations on finishing! Linda
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that you showed us twirling! Yay to you!
ReplyDeleteYou took the words right out of my mouth!! That is a terrific photo!!
ReplyDeleteplease post the math!!! i would love to make bust darts on my mermaid ( the girls do love to be the center of attention, but must be corraled so as not to steal the show)
ReplyDeletei agree with fiberfanatic-happy twirling
P.S. Please post the math!
ReplyDeletechecked all your pictures, what a wonderful photo sequence! Which size did you do? that's got to be one of the best-fitting mermaids that I have seen, very well done!
