Last night I finished and blocked my Rosa Tank test knitting project by Deanna Baris (@growing__paints).

The Rosa Tank drops on August 21st on Deanna's Ravelry and Etsy.

Deanna's pattern is fantastic. Rosa is a basic tank top, but the seamless construction, continuous i-Cord straps, and neat lace hem elevate this pattern to the level of wardrobe staple. The pattern is easy enough for an advanced beginner, but versatile enough to experiment with different yarn weights, hems, and increases.

I will update my blog at Wordpress with pictures on my body soon.

I knitted up my Rosa Tank with 2 skeins of Knit Picks Galileo, an affordable sport weight blend of Merino wool and bamboo-derived rayon ($5.99 / 50g).
