I hate this sweater, rather I hate the way this style of sweater looks on me. So why do I still have it? Three reasons realy. First is that I was wearing it when dh and I got married, so kind of wanna keep it for that. Secondly, I love the soft mint green color. Last, and this will ring well with you die hard knitters (and you know who YOU are!) I would like to recover/recycle the yarn.
So “What’s the question?” you ask….simple realy. I need an input of ideas about what to make when I finally get around to recovering the 100% DK weight (?) cotton yarn. I do have some criteria for the suggestions, so please keep that in mind when you post your suggestions.
#1. I can never ever get any more of this yarn and nothing new will blend well with it. So please, no big bulky things.
#2. I am, how shall I put this, Big Busted, so please no strapless or I cord or tiny strapped things.
#3. It was a wedding sweater, and I’d like something nice, so please no house-frump looking things.
#4. I will have to wear a bra with whatever, so please no overly see-threw (too lacey) things.
Finally, #5. Think Sexy Outerwear not Skanky Bedroomwear.
Your prize? My absolute undying gratitude, along with mention (unless you request otherwise) of thanks on my blog. Deadline? hmmmmmm dunno that yet.

Make the top I gave you. The yarn is perfect for it.

How about the shapely tank? There’s a link there to the free pattern.

What about Clapotis from knitty.com? Then you could dress it up or down.

Hello, and my vote is for the shapely tank. If you rescue enough of the yarn, you could add the sleeves as well, the pattern for them is on the Whitelies designs website.
TTFN!
