I have the urge to knit a cotton tank top. I’ve been surfing ideas this afternoon and finding lots of pretty things. Thing is…I’m 5′ tall and I wear a 36DD bra and I’m not skinny. It’s just so FREAKING HOT and I’ve decided I don’t care about the being fat part, I want a cute cotton tank. (I made soleil and it looks bad on me, plus I’ve lost 30 lbs since I made it and it doesn’t fit anymore.) Here are a few patterns I ran across in my search.

Calla

Inca Cotton Tank

Prosperous Plum Tank (pdf file)

Sizzle

Chevron Rib Tank

A Drops pattern

Feather and Fan top

DNA Sweater Shell

Chickami

Mondo Cable Shell

Ribby Shell

Bamboo Ballerina Tank Top

Tulip

Back In Black

Ballet Camisole

Lux (though this one might be too small)

Emily

Arctic Circle

Eliza

Enchanted

Shapely Tank Top

Bevin

Aran Weight Lace Shell

Pretty In Pink Tank

Thats all I have for now. Anyone else have any good ideas?

I finished the sweater (except for the ties) on Wednesday.
I also went and bought a skirt pattern and two different fabrics to make skirts to wear with it. I got a pretty blue and a really nice purple. I couldn’t decide which one would look better and since the skirt only takes like 1 3/4 yards to make it was just easier to buy enough for the two and make two. Plus..then I’ll have two new skirts.

I can’t decide what to work on next. *sigh* I think I’m getting Knitting ADD again. I keep starting stuff and frogging it. I wish I could buy some more yarns. That might inspire me.

I’m feeling really old lately. My lovely daughter turns 16 on the 6th of August. This time 16 years ago I was miserably sick and wishing she’d come already and here after a blink of an eye..she’s 16. Time really does fly. She is a wonderful child (save for the occasional teenage angst/outburst/attitude) and I hope she knows how very proud I am of her.

Happy weekend everyone!
