Hey, I was going to vote for the idea about a matching thong for your next wedding anniversary (but the aside about 'Buzzy' cured me of that thinking)... I'm surprised your guy let you alone long enough to take a pic; I thought the focus problem was your guy jostling Megan around to get her to hurry up so he could, heh, "help" you with that tie... so to speak.
Posted by roggey at June 30, 2004 12:29 PMHa-cha-cha-cha-cha! I see what you mean about busting out of it. The Harlot does sexy!
G4 is looking fabulous! Almost makes me want to take up spinning... until I think of the mountains of untouched stash in my closet...
Posted by Nathania at June 30, 2004 12:32 PMLovely three-ply! My first three plying involved a LOT of non-PG13 words. Finally I figured out how to tension three separate strands by running them over the back of my hand through the "finger gaps" and then around the adjacent fingers. I realized at that moment that I would NEVER be doing four-ply.
This is really the way to go with Joe's Gansey. Three hundred meters here, three hundred meters there in a leisurely fashion certainly beats trying to do production spinning all at once to get to the knitting part. Besides the spinning time gives you lots of time to design the gansey, right? :)
Posted by Laurie at June 30, 2004 12:36 PMWear the tank as it is... just be prepared to say "My eyes are up here" quite a lot.
Posted by Amie at June 30, 2004 12:54 PMthink i can borrow it the next time Bono comes to town?maybe if i was wearing that tank i could get his attention.lol.atleast you were brave enough to wear it on your blog.;0)
Posted by sue at June 30, 2004 1:00 PMpersonally, I think the tank looks FABULOUS on you, but then again, I may be more harloty than the Harlot ;)
Posted by Lara at June 30, 2004 1:15 PMBOO!!! Oh, just thought a scare might make you jump. It does look like you can't move a bit without disaster. Love the color and hope the changes make it more wearable. You can always make it into a vest.
Hope the socks have another nice day!
Dear Yarn Harlot, I am having the exact same problem with my Not a Honeymoon Tank Top, recently renamed "Tittilicious Tank Top". http://www.yarrrn.com
I will probably do the same as you, rip out and put in thicker straps. I'm looking forward to see how it comes out!
Posted by Yarn Pirate at June 30, 2004 1:53 PMI hope you are washing those socks.
Posted by Christy at June 30, 2004 1:58 PMAnxious to see how your modifications work to make that into something you can wear without care, because that really is a cute tank. I think it will still be appealing without being quite so revealing!
Posted by Vicki at June 30, 2004 2:01 PMSure you can wear that tank! You just have to have someone with you to be on boob watch and work out a code to help you stay covered. This technique was recently utilized by my friend (in a skimpy swimsuit that we both SWEAR was not so tiny in the dressing room) and I when we were at the water park. I was actually on boob AND butt watch. Should she at any point be showing too much rack, I was to ask her if I had left my headlights on. If too much tushy was starting to show I was supposed to tell her that drugs are bad. Luckily we didn't ever need to use the code, but if we hadn't formulated it, there surely would have been some sort of swimsuit disaster that would have exposed her to all the sketchy people hanging around that place (you know, the guy with the twelve pack you were mentioning...they gotta get out sometimes, right?).
Posted by Amanda* at June 30, 2004 2:52 PMYou go girl! Your artfully posed pic makes the top look scrumptious but I can see how not being able to breathe, let alone move might be a bit difficult. Still the color and style is great. With a few modifications it will be an absolute stunner.

(Hey, if it works for Hollywood starlets...) :)
I'm sure you'll fix it. Better tell Joe to enjoy it while it lasts!
Posted by Rana at June 30, 2004 3:07 PMIt really is cute, if you could just stand there a while. But what fun it would be to have your own wardrobe malfunction for just the right audience. Oh, I think you have the recipe, you know what you're doing. I really do wish they would use real women in those magazine shoots with realistic dimensions so we don't waste out time ripping and redesigning.
Posted by Julia at June 30, 2004 4:08 PMHey, since you have it, flaunt it! It can be your offical Harlot MILF tank. :)
Posted by Sarah C. at June 30, 2004 4:32 PMWow, that looks great on you!! I mean aside from the having to remain perfectly still part of it. Fix it up and make it work because that tank was MADE for you. It would be a crime to give up on something that flatters you so well! Love the G4 yarn also, how much of the wool stash have you used so far? As I recall that was quite the pile-o-wool.
Posted by Crissy at June 30, 2004 4:41 PMMy friend Bella has two words from her ballroom dancing days - Eyelash Glue - if it can keep the straps of a ballgown attached during competition, it will keep the rack covered.
Posted by Angela at June 30, 2004 8:00 PMI think you should wear the tank as it is. Be proud of your boobies.
Posted by Helby at June 30, 2004 9:01 PMWowie! Summer comes on HOT up in Canada, eh? I just asked my better half if *I* had the mango tank on, would he tell me it was too revealing?
"It's revealing... but its alright."
So its obviously more of a guy tank than a gal tank. It is a gorgeous color though, and such a cool "crochet" stitch... I can't wait to see the modifications.
Posted by Chelsea at June 30, 2004 9:25 PMOh Lordy, the boyfriend's name is Buzzy!! Luckily, he doesn't drink Miller and we still have dial up:)
Love that tank!
Posted by Janet at June 30, 2004 10:25 PMTank looks great! Don't change it, add a layer...

It looks fabulous! Good plan to reknit the top so it also works for those times when you can't stand motionless all day. ;)
Posted by alison at July 2, 2004 10:03 AMYou are a better woman than I am because I avoid frogging at all costs. How about wearing a tube top under the tank. Showing layers seems to be the trend these days, so a little patch above the V-neck would added a little interest without getting you arrested.
