Success at last




After 4 attempts to knit the bikini top, (pattern shown on Knitty Gritty) I have finally knit something that I think will work! I had to rip out the 3rd attempt, when I knit the c size cup, because it was turning out too large. So, I went back and knit the b size cup again, but I increased as for the c size cup, so I would have enough height. And it worked! I have never really made adustments to a pattern with shaping before, and I was glad that I stuck with it and tried this on my own. It gives me confidence that I can make alterations to other patterns when necessary. It also made me realize that sometimes you have to try several different things before you can get an item to fit you personally, and not to give up!
