the ribbed corset is finished.
see? i wouldn't lie to you
i waffled between buttons i could afford that jo-ann's had enough in stock to buy RIGHT THEN and ones that were more expensive and not enough in stock. i bought the ones i could afford. however, the main reason i bought the right then buttons was that there were 25 (i needed 22, but they came in sets of 5). the silver filigree ones that i loved came in sets of 3 and there were only 5 sets. alas, i only wound up using 11 buttons, so in theory, i could have gotten the ones i loved...
anyhow, the FO REPORT!!!
pattern: annie modesitt's ribbed corset
needles: addi turbo size 6, 32"
yarn: brown sheep cotton fleece in silver plum
date started: 06/22/06
date finished: 07/08/06
modifications: not many - i knitted it exactly as written. but realized that 22 buttons that were 5/8" in that amount of space were too many, so i removed half the buttons, and sewed it shut to prevent unseemly gapping
notes: LOVE. IT. love it love it love it love it. and i like it, too!

It's so nice. Damn. You've got mad skills.
I think you chose the perfect color, too.

p-man, you get a corset when you teach me to ride a bike.
Looks amazing. Awesome job.
That corset tank ROCKS!!! You did a terrific job!!!
that is a really cute top!! I'm kinda jealous of your capabilities!
SUPER COOL!! Love it. I want one.
Are cardigans stylish anymore for men? I might start a new hobby here, Heather.
well grunty, not so much. but it's easier to knit sweaters without buttons anyway.
Hey, that's a really great top!
