Tempting You Some More…
I don’t think I have ever posted twice in one day… this is a new record.
Many thanks for your condolences–they are very kind and appreciated. Knitbloggers are wonderful people, no doubt about it.
Now onto the reason you are here… Tempting pics!

Who does not like a fancy-schmancy souped up shot? This effect is called posterizing… whatever that means. |
The white satin ribbon was in my stash… and it actually fits perfectly. I really like the look of it. At first, I thought satin might be too flimsy, but this one worked well.Â
Another issue that worried me: bra straps. I have to wear a bra–and strapless ones really don’t cut it for me. With the ribbon, I was able to cinch the neck enough to hide the bra straps. This makes me very happy.Â
The other ribbons look good too… here is the lavender one. The two stripey ones (and the polka dot) are not photographed yet… maybe in the future.
Anyone know of a good bow-tying tutorial? It is pretty difficult with this grosgain ribbon…

I am almost done with the ribbon Dolcino scarf… Quincy is not too fond of it, as you can see. |
Finishing touches on my Preservation paper, and this semester is history… hallelujah… but that can wait for tomorrow morn. This sicky needs some rest!
First off, that looks fabulous! I love it with the white ribbon! Second off, sympathy to you and your family and third, I hope you ain’t got what I just had. Nasty, nasty, nasty. If it’s that coughy, icky, phlegmy thing find a Chinese herbalist and get their help. Promise it will help. Cheers, sister!
The tops looks great! I now know why it’s called Tempting… because you will be tempted to try out every possible ribbon, hee hee.
Sorry to hear that you are not feeling well. Get well soon!!
That’s beautiful! And it looks so good on you! I suddenly wants one…
Feel better soon.
Quite lovely with the white ribbon!!
Tempting is gorgeous and so are you in it
I hope that you feel better soon. Get some rest. That’s an order!
Tanya
Oooh! Lovely!
Beautiful! You’re tempting me to make Tempting!
Tempting looks fab, Lolly. Hope you feel better for the yarn orgy, whoops I mean MSW!
I am going to start tempting for my sister this weekend! it looks great on you. She too was nervous about the bra straps. i have to make the pattern 2″ bigger for her but that doesn’t scare me:). I am very sorry to hear about the death in your family. I wish ya’ll the best.
The postering looks very Andy Warholish! Two finger snaps for that!
Have a great weekend,
Amy
That color looks great on you! Now go eat some chicken noodle soup and feel better!
Tempating looks great Lolly. I like it with the white ribbon best.
Sorry to hear of the recent death if your family. Take care.
Hope you’ve kicked the virus too!
Yay for different colored ribbons! It is smashing! I also have the bow-tying problem, if you do find a tutorial, link to it for the rest of us, k?
As for the bra thing - what about a bustier? Saucy.
Wow! Looks awesome on you!
Tempting is SO flattering on you. It came out wonderful!
You look so good in Tempting. The color & style are very flattering on you! I like the interchangeable ribbons, too! As for tying them, I’ve heard that the two-bunny-ears method works well for making pretty bows, though I’m not for sure on that.
Where the hell have I been?!? I’m so sorry to hear of your recent loss. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do
I’m with Gina: Tempting is gorgeous on you and now I’m suddenly in want of one too. *sigh* someday…
Tempting is very becoming on you, job well done. I hope you are beginning to feel better.
Good luck with your last day of the semester.
I love your pink Tempting. I really want one in that shade of Cashmerino now! It looks great on you.
I’m really sorry for your loss.
Look at all those fabulous pictures of tempting. It looks great on you! I have to say I like the white and lavender ribbons better than the green, they go better I think.
Tempting! I love the new pics…lookin good! loving that color!
Tempting alright - tempting the rest of us who see it to knit it! I have to go with the rest and say that I like the white ribbon the best.. it just pops. I’m sorry to hear of your loss (and your cold too).
I love your Tempting! I want to make one, and I have yarn for it, but I’m not getting gauge. Maybe I’ll give it another shot… seeing how good it looks on you!
Tempting is very tempting. Great looks with all the ribbons. Now make sure you get plenty of rest…you deserve it!
Lolly, you look so good in that sweater! I swear, that pattern was made for you. It’s totally you :).
Quite nice. I like the white ribbion it makes a very nice color combo. Feel better.

Lookin’ good! For bow tying instructions look here: http://zarzuela.blogspot.com/2005/04/thank-you.html
They helped me a lot!
P.S. I’ve got me an interview at U.M.!!
Tempting is adorable! I finished mine on Tuesday or Wednesday (god, I can’t keep track of days).
You look great in your beautiful Tempting-now another to do on my list! I’m leaving for Maryland in THREE HOURS!!!! Jane
You look radiant- I hope that Kris took you out for a proper drink to show her off.
Lolly…Again…Tempting is beautiful. You look great in her! I love her with the white ribbon! It is nice to see how we are improving in our knitting progress with every project we do. What a fabulous knit! Feel better & wear her in good health!
Your Tempting looks beautiful on you doll! Damn you, now I’m going to have to make one, now that I know that I can wear it big boobies and all…
I lose my voice when I get sinus infections too, so I feel your pain. ‘Course when I start getting it back I sound sexy, like Madonna in Truth or Dare.
Hope to run into you this weekend! I plan to be there both days!
Awesome Tempting! I’m making this right now, but I only have about three inches of the bottom ribbing done. I have a question, hope it’s not too personal. Did you have to do any modifications in the chest area or did you knit it according to the pattern? I’m so worried that it’s not going to fit me. I like the length of yours. Did you make it shorter or longer or according to pattern? Thanks!
woo hoo! tempting is gorgeous! mmmm cashmerino … great job, lauren!
Lolly - this is the first entry I’ve read (in all of blogsville!) in nearly two weeks… SO SORRY to hear of your loss! Sending you and your family warm thoughts.
And on a YOU LOOK HOT GIRL note…No wonder they call it Tempting!
I’m sure It’s a FAVE of your hubby’s!
Cheers!
