Shell Tank
Done! I am very pleased; it fits perfectly. I owe that fit to Anna, whose own shell tank (posted here last August, I think) was my inspiration, and who very kindly told me exactly how she sized hers down. Thank you Anna! The principal mods were lengthening it by two inches, and sizing it down to a 34. Size aside I loved this pattern; it is so beautifully thought-out, and the finishing details are so elegant. I used addi turbos in 8 and 6, and four balls of Rowan Calmer in Drift.Labels: Shell Tank

very pretty! I like the fitted styling better than the trapeze shape from the book.
Thanks sturdygirl--I agree. I knew I wouldn't wear it cropped and flared at the bottom, but I loved the cables and neckline.
I just finished my shell tank, and I am really pleased! But I was misled by a big error in this pattern, regarding right front shaping.
Anyway...all well that ends well!
Your tank is gorgeous and the fit is perfect! Kinda makes me want to make one...
Thanks rockbridge--I really loved the construction of this tank. That Gaughan--such a designer!
Lovely! You did a great job resizing and fitting it.
It's absolutely stunning. I also like it more fitted than the roomy original size. I would actually like to adapt this to a vest, rather than a top, but am concerned about the edge pointing straight to my crotch!
ah, So many projects, so little time....
Thanks so much. Yeah, centering that cable panel could have an unfortunate arrow-like effect.
Wow, I love it - that's how I'd want to wear it - very flattering! This would even look great modified with sleeves for all seasons wear. Now i need to knit one! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thank you Theresa--I get *all* my inspiration from others' pictures on the net, so I'm delighted to give some back to the pot!
That looks beautiful!
I'm very inspired now! I've wanted to use calmer for something for a while now. And have wanted to knit a tank top. I wonder why I didn't think of putting these two together!
YOu shell tank looks very nice on you, a perfect fit! The color will be nice for summer.
i'm a huge fan!
