Merry Widow Shell

One week down, a couple more to go...

This is a challenging design (particularly if you're unfamiliar with charts) from one of my favorite designers: Joan McGowan-Michael. It's the Merry Widow Shell from her book Knitting Lingerie Style.

I only had to rip out four or five times (ugh!) before finally getting it right. Here's what I've got so far:


It's a leaf-and-stem pattern that winds up the front and back. In the end, it will look like a corset (only not as tight).

Joan offers patterns and kits on her web site, White Lies Designs. Check it out--they're gorgeous.
