My bay tank is complete but it is too big. (see my 5/26 blog post)
Jody, also knitting along, is meeting me for dinner tonight and lending me her ball winder so I can frog the whole tank and start over.
Second verse, same as the first.

Hiya,
I wanted to let you know I completed my Chickami tank. I'll be starting another one in a few weeks.
Posted by: Lynette | June 03, 2004 at 07:55 PM
Still tankin'! I'm proceeding slowly, so I just finished the back side increases, and heading for the armholes. New pix to come. I'm already planning a second tank project...how optimistic is that?
Posted by: Nyondo | June 03, 2004 at 09:49 PM
I'm still poking along on the ribby Cecil tank, but I've sort of lost my zeal for her. The yarn is so splitty!
Posted by: jena | June 04, 2004 at 08:49 AM
Finished the goddess! Pics on my page. On a side note, finished Chamomile too! More tanks a-comin'!
Posted by: deb | June 04, 2004 at 09:05 AM
Just starting Vera... thanks for adding me!

I finished the back of the Vogue Giotto tank. Had to change the decreases to make it look right. The decreases (all bind offs) in the pattern were messy - at least mine were! :)
Sooo excited to wear it. The Giotto is so soft and pretty!
I'm working on getting my blog up - any help is appreciated. I want to put some pics of the tank up for you to see!

I am starting over on my tank this weekend. I made a mistake and decided it would be better just to start fresh. This way I can also (hopefully) fix the rolling problem I was having.

My Lavender & Lace tank is complete. You can see it here http://goddess1.typepad.com/i_hide_yarn/2004/06/lavender_lace_t.html
Posted by: Bliss | June 05, 2004 at 07:07 PM
Still putting off sewing the side seams on my Shapely, but otherwise it's done. After knitting this, I think I'm going to do something else with my Microspun...the yards and yards of stockinette stitch bored me to tears.
Posted by: Jaimi | June 05, 2004 at 07:46 PM
My tank is coming along, slowly but slowly. I'm having to stop every 3-6 rows and spin some more, so that makes things a...little more of a challenge. The waist decreases are done and I'm almost up to the bust increases - roughly halfway. I'm starting on some angora for the hearts this week.

My Mama Tank is complete. It was not without its trials, but I made it through. Pictures and laments can be found on my blog (http://bigsister.typepad.com). The completed piece is modelled in the June 6th entry.

Tank is finished. Not knittin' with cotton again this summer. I'm a WOOL pig. It was fun to knit with y'all. Thank Nathania for hosting the KAL. Fun to see what everyone else is knitting up.
Posted by: margene | June 08, 2004 at 11:09 AM
My tank is done. I have pictures and summary on my website (see sidebar under Knit-Alongs). I may knit another tank, still wondering about yarn and pattern. Thanks for hosting Nathania, this was my first knit-along! Fun project.

Finished my Giotto tank -it's a little roomy around the armholes. I wish I had knitted it a size down! I loved knitting with the Giotto, I may have to do another one. You can see the finished tank on my (pitiful!) blog. Plus, if you can help me get my blog organized - that would be great!! http://jacqknits.blogspot.com
I am starting the Chickami in purple and cream Berocco Cotton Twist in the next day or two - I just have to figure out how I want to do the striping.

Hi, N ~ Yesterday I started a ribbed cotton tank for my tiny toddler. (She's three now; should I stop calling her that, now that she's potty-trained and speaking in four-syllable words?) I'll ask her to help me think of a name for it! Meanwhile, I won't cast on for my ChicKami until the Sitcom's done ~

I've completed the back of my chevron tank, and I'm nearly at 7 inches on the front. Things are rockin right along.

I've just joined. Pattern is Fiber Trends Basic Tank..Yarn is Classic Elite Flash in Clementine
Posted by: Sandra | June 10, 2004 at 07:56 PM
I am very close to FINALLY finishing the back of my back. No actual pics of anything, nor have I been talking about it. It's probably about 40% done.
Though, I have been working on a modified Cherry Twist (http://knitty.com/ISSUEspring03/PATTcherries.html)... Size 7 circs with Sugar 'n' Creme cotton - and that's about 80% done.
Posted by: Christina | June 11, 2004 at 12:16 PM
I emailed you today about my tank. I've finished the back and am about 1/3 of the way through the front. It's the Batz tank from Plassard's adult summer book using Mayotte and P'Tite Fleur. Earlier pictures are here: http://mythreadedbliss.typepad.com/my_threaded_bliss/2004/week23/index.html.

Post! post! Post! The list is just going to get longer.....
Posted by: Julia T. | June 13, 2004 at 10:08 PM
The GFA shell is on hold as I make my fourth attempt at seaming it up; darn those reverse stockinette stripes, anyway. I've also got about half of Joy from 'Tape Thing' finished, but that's also on hold while I bang my head against the wall over the armhole decreases. Grrr!
Posted by: Mindy | June 14, 2004 at 12:40 PM
I finished one of my tanks. I changed to Ginger as opposed to the Elderflower.
Posted by: Amanda | June 21, 2004 at 04:49 AM
I started mine.. I had to order some turbos off the internet because bamboo doea not like mission falls cotton (sticky). I am kind of starting to understand the whole wool craze. So I seem to be WAY behind everyone else but I cast on last night. I have to frog it but it knits up fast.
