Right, as I mentioned a while back for my first proper knitting attempt I’m going to knit the 50’s off the shoulder top from SK (last months maybe?) Haveing never done anything like this before I could do with a few pointers! wink I’ve not quite finished my tension square but what do I do if it’s not the right tension?
Also, I’m a little confused about measurements. Does the bust measurement need you to measure around your boobs? I know I’m being thick but I really want to get this right!

This is my next project too. Up for a 2-woman KAL? We can metaphorically hold each other’s hands (though that would make the knitting harder).

I’ll have a proper look at the pattern tonight, and PM you?

I love this pattern as I remember my Mum wearing one like it in the dim and distant past. My bit of advice is to make sure you are REALLY carefull with picking up the stitches around the neckline as EVERY glitch will show!!!!
