Alas…

…poor Shapely Tank. I knitted you. I blocked you. I wore you. I unraveled you.
In what incarnation will you appear next, lovely, drapey Rowan Luxury Cotton? Whisper what you want to be in my ear, and I will knit you up again. This time in a smaller size. After all, you ARE mostly cotton.

Shapely Tank. Shapely? Hmmm…

Shapely Tank, huh?
I finished this in July, and wore it twice.
