While the bust measurements on this pattern fit, there’s no way I can fit into something with a 29” top and I’m way more hippy than what the pattern produces, so I’ve done some swatching, measuring and lots of math and have come up with something that I hope (hope hope hope) will fit me!

I decided to just do one and a half repeats of the lace since I’ve made the straps longer (15”) and don’t want the lace to show too much of my bra.

Just under 5” of stockinette done. I hope I have enough yarn, but I’m thinking I won’t…. Yes, after measuring, I don’t have enough to make the stockinette section long enough. Eep.

Alrighty, I’ve frogged back to the second round of stockinette because I’ll be getting a second ball of yarn from the lovely lynetteack and I want to alternate the yarns to make sure there’s no line of demarkation between them. Now I just need to wait for the yarn to arrive then I can make up three days of stockinette knitting! Yay for more yarn! And yay for not having a belly-bareing shirt!

YAY! The second ball of yarn has arrived, thanks to the delightful lynetteack, so now I can get back to miles of stockinette, take two!

A few weeks of joint and shoulder issues have caused a massive slow down with this project, but I’m finally to the ribbing! I did about 12” of stockinette and I’m planning on just under 1-1/2” of ribbing. Will take a while, though, as I wait for my shoulder to straighten out and be usable again!

This has taken so much longer than it should have because of my shoulder issues, but I finally bound off today! YAY! Ironically, the finished tank weighs exactly 150g… the weight of one skein! So theoretically I could have finished this with the yarn I had instead of getting another ball, but really? I doubt it would have worked like that if I had had only one ball. Plus, knitting without freaking out about “can I knit it longer and still have enough yarn?” is much more happy-making!

Measurements/Gauge:
Top = 32” / US3 @ 1.75” per repeat = 18 repeats = 198 sts
Body = 38” / US4 @ 5.625 sts per inch = 213 sts
Ribbing = 34” / US3 @ 6 sts per inch = 204 sts

With US3s - Straps. CO 39, strap 1 end, CO 52, strap 2 end, CO 39, strap 2 end, CO 52, strap 1 end, join = 198 sts.
