    Happy Birthday Shezmit _party_.
    k2tog, we must be right if we both said it ;) ..... great minds and all that.
    LOL my crochet circle is getting there but I am sure there must be a faster pattern, I am doing rings where each row I increase by one in every 1st, 2nd, 3rd stitch and so on....I am now at the stage of increasing in every 12th stitch. I did watch a video online of how to make it faster but the stitching was beyond my poor brain (I don't really crochet tbh).......at least it will do the job but if I am to make more boobs I will need a faster pattern me thinks!

    Try this one Orkney Star - it's knit all in one piece. Cast on loosely otherwise the increases are a bit hellish.

    I always use this one and after doing one and realising that I needed to knit slacker, they're really quick and easy.

    Don't know what I've done wrong!
    It's on Maytaurus's post 964 but I don't know how to do a link to that either :o. It appears my time of being a great mind was brief - and now over ;)

    Try this one OS *crosses fingers*
    http://www.geocities.com/earlyangelsproject/boobappeal.html

    Yay! It works for me! Can I be a great mind again? If only for a minute or two?
