I love that the designer, Jessie Mae Martinson, is size inclusive and doesn&#8217;t shy away from showing fat people in her pictures.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought a rerelease color from <a href=\"https:\/\/mollygirlyarn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Molly Girl Yarns<\/a> called Walk This Way, a nice gray with black and hot fuchsia speckles.  This yarn base is Boogie Woogie and is 85% Italian Superwash Merino and 15% nylon, and I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;ve had any yarn that specifies it&#8217;s Italian before!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/ext\/embed.html?id=81627811986735319\" height=\"336\" width=\"236\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>On swatching, I was a little under on the width and definitely fewer rows by height, but it was as loose of a fabric as I wanted to go, I could already see through it.  So I&#8217;m knitting the next size up at 63&#8243; bust (instruction is 5-7&#8243; positive ease).  I&#8217;ll always layer it over something else, whether it&#8217;s a ripple bralette or a tank or even more likely, a dress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When casting on, because it was so many stitches, I did it with both ends of the yarn instead of trying to be accurate on pulling out enough yarn.  Just means I&#8217;ll have extra ends to weave it, but that&#8217;s fine.  I cast on with the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thesprucecrafts.com\/german-twisted-cast-on-2115693\" target=\"_blank\">Twisted German Cast on<\/a> because I wanted to ensure I had enough stretch, and I like how it looks on ribbing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m using continental Norwegian purls again to get proficient at this skill, after starting on it with my <a href=\"http:\/\/yarningspodcast.com\/wip\/finished\/christmas-in-july-wristers\/\">Christmas in July<\/a> wristers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I intended to make this longer, and bought 5 skeins of yarn to do so.  But then I got to thinking I\u2019d rather end it before it goes over my tummy to be more flattering with the ribbing.  So I stopped and used 2.7 skeins.  I\u2019ll find something else to use this yarn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>September 1st<\/strong>, I had about 6&#8243; of ribbing so far.  I&#8217;ll be doing the less cropped version that is 11.5&#8243; before separating for the front and back.<\/li><li><strong>September 6th<\/strong>, I separated off for the front and knit the inch before needing to start the neckline.<\/li><li><strong>September 10th<\/strong>, front is complete and working on the back. <\/li><li><strong>September 13th<\/strong>, 3-4\u201d remain on the back from the separation point.<\/li><li><strong>September 15th<\/strong>, started first sleeve<\/li><li><strong>September 18th<\/strong>, finished second sleeve!<\/li><li><strong>September 20th<\/strong>, wove in ends.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ve made several Ripple Bralettes, and so the Ripple Crop Top was very enticing to me.
