PPT

Hi, I'm new here and looking forward to participating in the next knit-a-long. Thanks for having me. I'm an avid, lifelong knitter and always have several other fiber crafts on the go too. Most notably right now, spinning and weaving.

I've noticed that the Prosperous Plum Tank is right up there with the higher number of votes. I would love to make that tank top, but there is NO WAY I will fit into a 28" top. Does everyone who is voting for that particular pattern realize that 28" is the ONLY size it has been written for? Even with 4" of negative ease allowed, that still only amounts to fitting a 32" bust.

i was surprised by the same thing (both the sizing and by the number of votes given that fact)! glad you pointed it out, in case people hadn't noticed it.

thank you! I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem, as well. I was actually wondering if it'd be bad manners to request that all nominations have sizes that are viable for most of the knitters here - from 28" to 48"? It'd just make it easier for everyone

No kidding! I'm a 40/42 bust (28 waist), so this top would fit my waist & that's it - lol

I think that adapting that pattern wouldn't be too hard for me, but I'm a 30" so I would just have to find out where to remove stitches.

I hadn't noticed that when glancing at the pattern though.

I didn't notice the lack of sizing until after I nominated it. I did add a note suggesting that it was ineligible, but it might not have been noticed. My bustline is way to too big for this pattern, too!

Yikes, thanks for pointing that out...wasn't paying attention. I will go vote for something else.

You can't change your vote ... ::sigh::
