Corset Pullover




The Corset Pullover, by Robin Melanson from Interweave Knits Summer 2003. I finally made this when Sandi Wiseheart did the Gallery on Knitting Daily. Thanks to the tips from the Gallery, the Corset fits perfectly. I narrowed the central panel and the shoulders, and shortened the torso a bit. I made only one set of waist ties. I love the yarn I made it in, Rowan Calmer. I may add the little sleeve ties later. It's cool like cotton but stretchy at the same time. I'm thinking about the Ingenue Blouse by Phoenix Bess in this yarn...but the weight is a bit different.
