Comments on: Drop-stitch tank! http://www.glampyre.com/2007/05/04/drop-stitch-tank/ For the discerning knitter.

(No disrespect to the model in the book, but...well...you know...) It would've been nice to see a back view as well, but I'm not complaining! : ) I do have a couple of questions, though: The pattern says knit the size 6" smaller than your measurements. So, what happens if 6" is between sizes listed? For example, I measure about 42", Do I go with the 35" or the 38"? Also, does this top have to be knitted in two pieces on straight needles?

Just make rectangles out of the ribbing or in the stitch pattern and sew them on. There's no armhole shaping on the top, it's just 2 rectangles itself! Lanns,

Love the color, texture, pattern. Stef - think this tank would easily be modified to include sleeves? I'm a girl w/ chunky upper arms and would love to make this pattern but could not go sleeveless; that would be bad very bad. Gorgeous! Love the color, texture, pattern.
