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.
Prosperous Plum Tank (pdf file)
Lux (though this one might be too small)
Thats all I have for now. Anyone else have any good ideas?

I vote for Shapely, Ballet or Chickami. I have no tank patterns to suggest–I didn’t even know there were so freakin’ many!

Have you seen the book Big Girl Knits by Jillian Monroe and Amy Singer? I just found a copy at my local library-I love it-and there’s a neat tank top pattern that uses Svale yarn from Dale of Norway.

I liked it because it looked nice and roomy. Good luck finding a pattern you like!
I love your blog!

I have no ideas, but I’ve always wanted to knit something like a tshirt or short sleeve sweater. So, er, you do one and I’ll feel motivated, maybe!
Or I’ll just make more socks…
