A very late start

~ 6" long

I started Orangina last Saturday. I doubt that I'll be finished by the end of the month. This will be my second major lace knit (the 1st being Branching Out). I think it will be a very sexy top once completed. I love seeing all the completed FOs!

Question: How much ease is there in the finished project?

Hey! Looks great so far! I responded to your question about ease on my blog( in response to your comment) in the comment section. I thought I'd drop a note here too. I'm not sure of how much ease was designed into the garment. I'm an actual 32in bust and knit mine in 100 percent cotton. Since my only experiences with cotton have been that they seem to grow a bit after blocking, I chose to knit the closest to my bust size. My first try on pre blocking was a little body skimming but after blocking it relaxed and fits perfectly. I'd recommend you follow your true bust size and measure like your measuring for a bra. Take what would be your band size as your actual bust. This has generally worked for me unless the pattern had specific notes about ease. Sorry to be so long winded! Can't wait to see your finished product!
