\"SoyTank\"<\/a><\/td>\nPattern:<\/span>\u00a0 Bobbie
\nby Diane Zangl, for SWTC
\n
\nYarn:<\/span>\u00a0 SWTC Pure (100% soysilk(tm))
\nMethod:\u00a0<\/span> Handknit
\nCompleted:<\/span>\u00a0 February 23, 2008.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I’m calling it a tank top, but it’s almost more of a Tee.\u00a0 I made it mostly according to the pattern, except I worked the bottom part in the round, and I inserted shoulder straps when I discovered (too late) that it was going to be too short.\u00a0 I.e., I’d finished the whole thing and realized that the pattern was going to be a crop top.\u00a0 So, I inserted shoulder straps incorporating the bobble motif.<\/p>\n

I’m not all that happy with the yarn.\u00a0 It feels wonderful<\/span>, with lovely drape.\u00a0 But, it was a bit splitty to work with, and\u00a0 it opened up surprisingly when I wet & dried the finished project (see before\/after below).\u00a0 I suppose, if I’d washed a test swatch, I would have known that and knit accordingly, so perhaps it is user error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"pre-soak\"<\/a>\"post<\/a><\/span><\/td>\nBefore and after soaking.\u00a0 Note how the whole garment has “relaxed” considerably.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"back\"<\/a>\"back<\/a><\/span><\/td>\nBack — modeled and flat.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"neck<\/a>\"shoulder<\/a><\/td>\nNeck detail and close-up of the added shoulder strap.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
