Anything Knitted and Crocheted: Eyelet Rib Tank

Anything Knitted and Crocheted

Welcome to my blog. I hope to blog about my knitting and crocheting as well as everyday life. The patterns that I post are original and as such there is copyright on them. When they are based on another pattern there is a link to the pattern.

My husband and I adopted a beautiful dog named Leo. He is a dachshund and absolutely adorable! we adopted him on June 23, 2010 and he has become the love of our lives.

I love to share patterns that I find along the way or to talk about some of the neatest designers that are out there today, so I love to post links to the designs or the designers.

So grab a cup a and sit and enjoy the blog.

Eyelet Rib Tank

I picked up a copy of the July 2009 Creative Knitting Magazine and fell in love with this top, actually with several of the tops this issue. If you want the issues it is available until the end of June before the September issue comes out.

The design called for Lion Brand's Cotton-Ease of which I had ordered 10 balls of Lime, a beautiful green. It is described as Granny smith apple green (pictured at left).
I just finished one ball if it and got 6" completed. I decided to measure a favorite top from armhole to the edge of the top which measured out to 16". I wanted a tunic length. I am also thinking af adding some sleeves to the design. I will have to see once I try it on.

I am still having issues with lifting my injured right arm above my head.

Here are some of the other tops that I have fallen in love with.

1) Gentle Lace

Design by Celeste Pinheiro

A lovely topper for a dress or tank, knit from the top for easy fit!

2) Flirty Top

Design by Ann E. Smith

The modest bodice balances a lacy lower skirt for fun!

3) Cabled Sunshine

Design by Kathy Perry

The cables speak softly in a delightful top accented with pearl buttons.

4) Cabled Edge Top

Design by Melissa Leapman

Generous cabled ribs grace the borders of a sweater for office or afterward.

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge

The “Proselytize Knitting” Badge - A requirement for all Knitting Scouts, the recipient must do his or her bit to present knitting in a positive light, whilst at the same time avoiding all references to “hipness”, grandmothers, and yoga.

I’m always doing my part in this arena whether it’s spoken or written like in this blog. I teach at my local community league, which was a fluke. I am involved in the Alberta Avenue Initiative and was asked to teach both knitting and crochet. I start with dishcloths as it gives the basics.

The “MacGyver” Badge (Level One) - The recipient must demonstrate clever use of a non-knitting tool in a knitting-related scenario. For instance, recipient has used paper clips as stitch markers, or successfully whittled and then utilized bamboo skewers as dpns.

I’ve used all kinds of things as stitch markers when none were available, and have found clever ways of knitting cables without cable needles using skewers.
