Say Hello to Erica!

I am thrilled with this tank top.  After taking the photo, I asked my daughter "Do you think you might want to keep this?  And, really wear it?  Or, do you think I should use it as a model for future projects?"  While still wearing the tank top, she emphatically said "Oh, I was thinking about wearing it to school tomorrow."  WOO HOO!  We have a hit, ladies and gentlemen!  If I can get a teenager to like it, then everything is right with my designing world.

The particulars on this design:  I used Elann Sonata, a wonderful, reasonably-priced DK weight cotton.  The model size above is size 32.  For this size, I used 5-1/2 balls of yarn.  Both a Tunisian (afghan) hook and a regular crochet hook are used.  The finished sizes are in 8 increments, with a range from 30" to 44".  (I'm still in the planning stages of the plus sizes of 45" to 54".  So, if you are looking for those sizes, please stay tuned to the blog here to get information on availability.)

And, here is Christian and Brianna together.  Yes, he enjoyed our little photo shoot today as well.

The top is lovely. At first I thought it was knitted, until I read your explanation of the stitches and crochet hooks/techniques you used to make it. And your kids are beautiful.
