Keeping pattern correct, cast off at beg of next and every foll alt row 7 sts 4 times and 0 sts 0 times AT THE SAME TIME cast off at beg of foll every alt row 12 sts once and 11 sts once.

Okay, so the blue part of the instructions I get, but what the hell is the red part trying to tell me? My brain just about farted right there and decided that it would not decipher any French-glish. WTF? Oh for those who possess higher intelligence, please help a girl out. I’ve already knitted 185 rows at 127 sts/row..which comes out to 23495 sts total.. but who’s counting?
And for helping me decipher the above French-glish, I hereby present to you, OSW #3 in GGH Samoa in delicious light red. Yes, light red, not pink..says the closet pink-lover.
OSW3

Pattern: Lelah (size M) designed by Christine
Materials: GGH Samoa (stash, less than 500 yds), 2 yds green velvet ribbon (Joann), US 9 and 7 circular needles
Notes: 9 lace repeats, 7″ bust area w/ 1″ allowance for elastic, 3/4″ elastic band.
Finished size: 29″ on top to fit my 34″ bust

This was a fun knit. Quick and easy. My stash was stressing me out and I got to frog a failed project to make this tube top. My bust looks a little “bunchy” in the pic because I had to tuck in my bra straps. Now where the heck did I put my strapless brassiere? I might make another in black Wool Ease just to bust my stash some more. Special thanks to Christine for this pretty design.
