I'm about to start on my corset, gulp! I've been sitting on the pattern for a while, but looking at the gallery of finshed corsets has inspired me to get...
Gap-victim here - I did a second corset and put the little buttonholes on both sides so I could lace it up like a traditional corset - it works! ... [Non-text...
I didn't get any gaps, and I didn't sew mine closed, but I don't actually button and unbutton anyway... it's stretchy enough that I can pull it over my head...
Thank you for the support. I think the problem was the yarn. It really looks terrible that stretched. I'm making it up in the next size. It's not so bad. I...
My gauge swatch was right on after washing (and a little larger beforehand). Thinking on it further, there is very little stretch in my yarn. Perhaps that's...

Hi, I really enjoyed knitting this pattern, but unfortunately I misjudged how much the yarn (Debbie Bliss Cathay) would ease after blocking. I am considering...
Heather, Add more rows of the ribbing before starting the bust decreases. I think the biggest problem that people are having in finding the correct size is...
... Hi Laura, Just had the same experience with a swatch of Cathay (for a summer sweater)--thought I was right on gauge until I washed and blocked my swatch...
You could block (and/or wash) your swatch first, so that you know how the yarn wil ultimately behave.....I know swatching is BORING, but sometimes it's a...
but... what is this pattern? I know I joined, and that kind of insinuates, that I know, but I have seen this corset only once on a page that didn't exist...
I saw it in the pics and wondered how madelienemommy did it. I'm thinking of knitting the tank for summer and one ls for fall/winter. Thanks in Advance...
Thanks Donna ! I thought some extra rows were the solution but it's good to hear it confirmed. And I'll certainly be trying it on much more frequently the next...
Hi everyone! I just bought this pattern last night and am working it out today. I'm having a lot of fun with it, although I have finally admitted that I need...
On my corset I made the buttonholes every 6th row in the buttonhole band of 4 stitches after the last marker. This way there will be fabric on both sides of...

Hi all, new here. I've made a couple of corsets, found this group and thought it would be fun to knit along. Question? Where is the pattern that you are all...
Hey all. I'm finally getting around to start my corset! YAY! I'm planning on using the Plymouth Royal Bamboo. I made my swatch and before washing, it's...
Hi Liza, I urge you to wash the bamboo swatch! I love that yarn, but it has very little elasticity and once it's washed it drapes like a piece of woven silk....
Thanks, Annie. You're right. Before I got back here, I swatched on three different needle sizes and washed. The bamboo just ain't gonna cut it. Not only did...
