Tiger Lily Tank

Last week was a very good knitting week for me, I finished two WIP's.  I posted about how I finished my Mom's top, and then the next day or so I finished the Tiger Lily Tank Top I was working on.

Some folks might remember that I made myself this skirt in anticipation for summer a couple of weeks ago.  Well, after I made the skirt I decided I needed a white top to go with it.  Right around then I got an email from Lion Brand (how many knitting emails do I get a week?  Too many) Hence my new top was born:

This is me messing around with the effects folder on my photo editor.  It is called "warmify" but just looks like "make redder" to me.


It was a very easy and fast pattern.  I like to have at least one pattern I can just sit and do in front of the tv, and this one was it.  Plus I got to learn the three needle cast off for the straps, and that was fun too.

Of course, now that I'm ready for summer, we are having really dreadful weather.  I guess it is good we are going abroad or I wouldn't get to wear my new creations at all!




Here is where I hop:

  9. I really like the top, I'm surprised that is a Lion Brand pattern but every once in a while, they surprise you! I like the back straps especially, it dresses up an otherwise plain top. I may have to queue that!
