The Knitted Corset... Oh Myyy

I've been to a couple of Rocky Horror shows before but I've never dressed up for one before; so I said, "Hey, why not?"  I decided to go as Janet, post zapping.  So in a night I needed to find fishnets, a corset, face paint, and a feather boa.  Basically I had to look like this:


...but decent.  So I started knitting a corset based on this pattern.  Luckily one of my friends lent me a black corset for the show since my own masterpiece was a little long in the making a too small in other areas.  The pattern itself is a little confusing and I wouldn't recommend it.  I ended up knitting practically the entire thing before realizing that a couple of lines early on in the pattern were actually referencing the very end of the directions.  Very strange.  Anyway my own corset is almost complete, despite my misread directions and probably the incorrect type of stitching.  More to come soon!
