Pattern: Garnstudio DROPS 69-18 Ribbed Top in Safran
Yarn: Garnstudio Safran, color 20 (Maroon), 3.3 skeins
Needles: 3 mm (US 2.5)
Size: S
Ravelry: Project Page
Modifications: Knitted the body about 2.5″ longer, and did one less set of decreases before the straps so that they’d be two stitches wider for better coverage of bra straps.
Verdict: Va-va-voom! I was afraid the top might end up being a bit too risque for wearing in public, but it came out better than I expected, and there’s plenty of coverage to wear it with a bra. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I love this yarn. All three sizes of the pattern specified 4 skeins of yarn, so I knew there’d be plenty to lengthen the top, but even then, I have more than half a skein left over. I’d probably have made it an inch longer still if I’d known how much I’d have left over. If I hadn’t lengthened it, I -might- have been able to squeak by with 3 skeins, but it would have been close.

WOW! SECK. SAY. I love it! Don’t let Norma within a mile of that top or you’ll never see it again, m’dear. And knit yourself ten more.
That is just gorgeous. Perfect on you!
It looks fantastic!
Beautiful and your wider straps look perfect. Do you like it better now? Will you wear it?
It looks amazing!
Gorgeous. The top, too.
SEX-AYYYYYYYYYY! Love it. It’s just a perfect color and a GREAT look. I bet you’ll get a lot of wear out of this — on your cruises, for example!
You say ‘va va voom’ I say ‘oooo la la!’ Very Nice! and beyond!
Sexy!
A total winner!
Another win! You look incredible in it
It stopped raining there? Can I have some of that rain? Please? Send it here!
Sexy girl! That turned out very well. I think that red is one of your best colors – very complimentary.
Now I wonder what’s next???
That looks absolutely FABULOUS on you! I’ve been learning a lot lately about negative ease and I think that picture tells the whole story. Congrats on a VERY successful project.
You look great!
Nicely done!
Va va voom! It looks great and it’s more enough coverage for wearing out and about, luckily. It looks fabulous on you.
