Chalice Lace Tanktop

I had my eye on Paton's silk bamboo for ages waiting to find a pattern to justify my spending money on more yarn. But I got impatient and made my own! The fun thing about this pattern is that it's pretty interchangeable. I used the lace pattern from the 'Baby Chalice Blanket' (they're more technologically advanced than I am and have a chart you can follow) but you can use your favorite lace and change needle or yarn size to fit gauge. (Please don't mind the 'deer in the headlight' shot we got here...)Unfortunately I only made this pattern for me (34 bust), but the Chalice Lace is devisable by 10, so I think you can go up or down a size pretty easily.

The first two are the most discreet and invisible, and match each other symmetrically for the fussy among us. YO is, by contrast, intentionally visible: it creates a decorative hole in the knitting, which is used a lot in lace. The sampler below contains both increases and decreases.

If you encounter any problems, I would appreciate being advised by mail to dvmackay@rogers.com Note: You can also start turning the heel on a purl row, and many people prefer to do so. I actually do either, depending on the pattern I'm working on. End the heel flap ready to start a wrong side row.
