FO: lotus blossom tank
pattern: lotus blossom tank from interweave knits, summer 2006 (also available for free on Knitting Daily.
size: 33 1/4" bust
for: me
timeline: started 07.24.2007; finished 08.03.2007 (that's only 9 days!)
yarn: 2.1 balls of south west trading company bamboo in fuschia
needles: US size 5 and 6 knit picks options
i made some alterations to this pattern pattern. first, i added a fifth repeat to the lace section so that it would be a bit longer, which worked out well. i also knit 3.5" of stockinette before the armholes instead of 3" and knit 6.5" up the back instead of 7.5". i got the idea for shortening the back from the 20th episode of stash and burn and the fit is great. thanks for the idea!
also...talk about a quick knit! it took just over a week to whip up this little tank and i really like it. the fabric is cool and the design is clean, but interesting. plus, it doesn't really take up any yarn. i'm actually tempted to buy some variegated swtc bamboo to make another.

The tank looks so good on you! I stumbled upon your site and it seems that everything you knit looks awesome. I also really love Fitted Knits and hope to start the vest soon. I've only been seriously knitting for about a year and I just started my blog. Keep up the amazing knitting!
