Easy Tank

[jasmom]

This is my 2nd try at the tank. As a newbie at knitting, I couldn't find one easy enough to do. Why does patterns have to be so complicated? I came up with this after a few errors, arm area is not as neat as I'd like it but it's oh so easy. I added ribbing to the bottom and neck line for this.

It's very simple and it's something that I wear a lot in the summer. I used 1 skein of simply soft in watermelon using a size 9 circular needle (no joining).

You made that up? And you think you're a newbie? I love it! I like the fit, the pattern, the color, everything. Great job!! Patty (who is about to rip out that ballet camisole tank after 4 skeins because it's twisting)

Wow! You made that up? (sorry it bears repeating!) that is adorable! Please let me know if you post the pattern, I would love to make that! Oh, and your knitting is perfect!

It's B E A U TIE FUL!!!!!!!!!! I Love that yarn and that color. I made a RR blanket and a lapghan out of the ss vibrant colors.

 

I too am working onthe ballet camisole....but Desert Crocheter works faster than me, I am only on the incraesing part now.

You did a great job!!! I am enjoying knitting clothes a lot more then crocheting them.

it looks purchased off the rack, and that is the GREATEST compliment to your abilities...you have talent!!!!!!!

[lisalu]

That is amazing! I REALLY like it!

 

You do have talent if you made that up yourself. Actually that may be why you find it hard to follow patterns. Your creative mind can't be pinned down to following someone else's directions. It is kind of like playing the piano by ear vs reading music. Some of us are better at one than the other.

 

It looks great, thanks for sharing it with us. Keep up the great design work.

It looks fantastic! Never doubt your skill, that is not something most newbies could do!

[jasmom]

Thanks ladies! The pattern is on my blog. The arm area is not as "neat" as I like it to be. Newbie!!! The pattern does not have ribbing. If you do decide to make it, email me if there's any questions. Thanks again for the many compliments.

PS size is more towards a small, maybe a tight medium.
