[kusine]

I've been a busy bee this week! Visit my blog (http://www.kusine.com/thotspot/2005/07/tankini.htm) for photos and details!

Thanks for looking! :)

That's pretty - what did you line it with?

[kusine]

Nothing. :) I made sure I picked a square pattern with solid corners so it would provide coverage.

Very pretty, I really like the color you chose. :clap

[MiCountess]

Very Nice - Love the color - I'd be scared that something might poke through lol

[princsstrish]

ummm, just be careful. I can see...ummmm....the darker part.

It is cute though on you. and i LOVE that color.

[NancyCA]

I too can see through it. Be careful.


It is just adorable though. :hook

[AshEgypt]

Wow! :eek It turned out amazing! :tup

:frog

Hopefully no one (you don't want to see thru it ) will get close enough to see through it- I thought it was cleverly engineered to cover!

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

That is not why I said it was sexy I didn't see anything I wasn't supposed to :lol

[crosette]

Very cute...it's a great color. Oh, and I love the tattoo. :)

[Oslofia]

Love it!!!! :)

[kariholtz]

Great work!

[kusine]

LOL! Thanks everyone.

For the record, I have a birthmark under them there cups and that's what you're seeing. :) It's actually pretty darn solid coverage. I'm not hugely busty (obviously!), so I don't tend to jiggle much, so I think I'll be OK.

Thanks again! Glad you like it - it was loads of fun to make!

Great job! I love that yarn, but it is too expensive to buy a lot of it to use here in Belgium...and its European!! :think

[swapnae]

That's a nice idea, :idea to use granny squares for the cups...Would any squares work, do you think? :think

It's actually pretty cheap here. About US$4. Expensive, but not for a sport weight 100% cotton. Since I only used 2 skeins, I think it was a good buy. :) And I'm lucky, my local yarn shop has a huge selection of Catania. Normally I would have used Reynold's Saucy Sport (http://www.pagelinx.com/cgi-shopper/search.cgi/smileysyarns/ezshopper?user_id=4534&1_option=3&1=saucysport&database=dbase1.exm&template=template1.htm&output_number=100), but when I touched this, I had to use it!

I had to test several to find one that would work. What you're looking for is one that has very solid corners. If you wanted, they could be solid squares, but I kind of like the hint of naughtiness. ;) Just try a few. For an A/B cup, you want each square to be about 8-9 cm across. I then went around each cup with a row of sc for stability - but I don't think you'd have to, depending on your square pattern.

I love that! I've been fooling around with making my own tank pattern and the three granny squares are an awesome idea. (I love the crochet stitch bible too)
:yay it's fabulous.

Ooooh, thanks! :clap

That is just too darn cute for words! I have a friend that would adore that =) (I love it but am a bit to blubbery to get away with it rofl) Love the color you chose too!

[yarncat]

Awesome,Jessica!

[Terri/LadySorce]
