The Sweater Pattern Hunt
Even though I still have a sock to finish (and I can't remember what I did with the pattern for it, so it is on temporary hold...like everything else in my life right now) I am well on the hunt for a tank top pattern.
There was the one that I posted yesterday, but I was thinking about it overnight and I think what is fun about that pattern is the type of yarn that it calls for....and I also think that type of yarn that is called for might make me look older than I am (and not in the good way) when I wore the tank top. I don't know.
On an unrelated note: This is a recipe for homemade ginger ale.
Back to knitting. I have two other patterns that are now in the running:
The first is this one:
the asana top. It doesn't seem too complicated, it was inspired by yoga (hence the name.)
And, the second pattern, which seems a little more complicated (but I'm reasonably confident I could figure it out) is here: Knitting for Boozehags tank top pattern. First off, the website that its on...how great is that? Knitting for Boozehags? That just makes me want to pour a glass of wine and break out the knitting needles and some swing music. Also, check out the graphics on that page. For those of you that don't know, I have a thing for that style of art work...anything from between like, 1910-1930, or anything in that sort of Glaswegian, Charles Rennie Mackintosh sort of style...I am so there.
So, if you are one of my seven readers, and you also happen to be a knitter, let me know what you think of these patterns.

Far too advanced for me! I am still on squares :-(

I like the Asana pattern better because I think the neckline is better on you than the other top. But it has cutouts in the back - I am not fond of cutouts myself because they ALWAYS seem to lose their shape (and are usually not in convenient places for lingerie-wearing). But I suppose you could knit the back solid....because we knitters are creative like that.
And I like knitty.com in general. :)

I was going to make the back solid.... mostly because I don't want to mess it up. heh. But, we can say its because it will make lingerie wearing easier ;)
