craftgrrl | gathered tank

This tank could not have fit me any better. And let me tell you, I did not do a gauge swatch. I’m waiting for lightning to strike me. (I just don’t like to swatch!).

the pattern is from Interweave Knits Spring 2011. (here).

The side view makes a little baby-bump type thing, but I just don’t care.

I knit this out of recycled cotton. The sweater that I unraveled it from cost me only one dollar! (I originally planned to knit something else out of it, but it was too thin: read about it here) I’m in love! The yarn made a super-air-light fabric that is just perfect for summer.

I had a little trouble starting off this pattern, I misread the directions (“at the same time”=ugh), but eventually it all worked out. If I were to change anything, I would have done a few more rows of garter stitch on the back because it is a little roll-y.

Success! :)

p.s. these pictures were taken at Pepsico, how pretty right? special thanks to my photo-major friend: Marie London for this one.
