A Corset For You
Posted by amy on January 1st, 2006 filed in more knitting
Guess What? Something happened between when I ordered and cast on for my fantastic corset and when I cast off. Can you guess what it is? My work out efforts resulted in a more drastic reshaping than I anticpated. What started out as negative ease for a size 18/20 chest is now way to big. Rather than butcher the lines or rip it all back, I thought I’d start the new year with a contest. If you are a plus size diva with a great rack and are looking to show it off in a sexy, hand knit corset made of Alpaca and Silk, with an all Alpaca trim, drop me an email and you will be entered to win the most beautiful garmet I’ve ever made. *
*Best not be a stickler for a perfectly made sweater, as it shows evidence of a small learning curve that could not be corrected.

I had the same problem with my corset too, although overblocking didn’t help. Right now, its int he basement drying after being scrunched up, so I’m hoping I don’t have to rip it and redo.

That’s a gorgeous top. Browns are very much not me, though, so I’ll pass on entering the contest. If you don’t mind, though, I’ve added you to my Bloglines subscription, and might beg for advice when I finally try to make my own.

Love your way with advertising copy: “If you are a plus size diva with a great rack…..”
Would all the divas with great racks please raise their hands?
Congrats to the winner. Unbelievable that you are giving away such a hard-earned prize. Yay you! xoxo Kay
