Win a $150 Prize Package from Red Heart

July 24, 2012 by Sarah White

red heart tip junkie prize packageTip Junkie is giving away a prize package from Red Heart worth $150, which I expect some of you will want to check out. Anneliese from Aesthetic Nest recently stopped by Tip Junkie to share a scarf pattern and tutorial for working with the company’s new Red Heart Boutique Ribbons yarn, and it looks really cool.

I put a note in the comments, but people keep commenting as if I’m giving this away, so I wanted to make it clear that I am not. Got to Tip Junkie’s website (it’s the first link above) to enter, OK? Thanks!

The prize package includes six skeins of that yarn (ooh, Christmas presents!) as well as two of Sashay and three of Unforgettable. There’s also a yarn cutter pendant, a crochet hook and a pair of knitting needles, a book on learning to crochet and a year’s subscription to Crochet Today! magazine, all loaded up in a Red Heart tote. We’ll ignore the focus on crochet things and use this stuff to knit, right?

To enter, leave a comment on the post linked above by July 31. Extra entries can be earned for likes on Facebook and tweeting about the event. This looks like some fun yarn, and who doesn’t love free? Good luck!

    Knitting, crocheting, embroidery, needlepoint, all taught to me by my mom. So necessary to pass these skills on to the next generations. Now sharing with some of my curious friends and their children. It would be wonderful to have a beautiful variety of yarns to teach with.

    I am absolutely addicted to cross stitch and crocheting. Nothing like completing a project, and feeling pride in your work. This prize package would enable me to keep the fingers ‘nimble’ and my heart warm!

Fun Tank Top Knitting Patterns

It seems like every summer there’s a new crop of tank top knitting patterns, and what I noticed about a lot of the new releases this year is that they have fun little details that make them a little more interesting both to knit and to wear. 

Like the Sailoress Top from Joji Locatelli, which has a pretty cable worked up the center from and back, with shorter sections of cable work on the shoulders. It uses DK weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes up to a bust circumference of 72 inches/ 158 cm. You can find the pattern on Ravelry. 

Combine lace and cables in an allover pattern on the Mountain Laurel Top from Andrea Gaughan. This sport weight pattern is worked from the bottom up in the count and has 10 sizes. It’s available on Ravelry.

The Vienna Textured Tank Top by Sarah Hatton has wide ribs broken up by eyelets. There’s very little shaping so it’s a pretty easy knit worked in fingering weight yarn. There are nine sizes available and it’s a free download on Ravelry.

Make a tank with a boho vibe perfect for festival season with Mary Beth Temple’s Tropical Sunset Tank Top. Worked in worsted weight cotton yarn, it’s knit from the bottom up in pieces to make it more stable. The coloring changing yarn is perfect for this one, or you can make it solid or work in your own stripes. You can get the XS size free on her blog, and other sizes are available on Ravelry.

Looking for a cropped lacy V-neck top to knit for summer? Jessie Maed Designs has the Sundae Swirl Tank, worked in DK weight yarn in the round with a fun combination of lace and cables. The ribbing under the arms helps give it a great fit. There are six sizes up to a chest measurement of 62 inches/157.5 cm. You can find this one on Ravelry.

How about a tank top with buttons? The Ridge Tank Button Down from Bluebird Pine Shop could double as a vest in cooler weather. This one is made with light fingering weight yarn and comes in 10 sizes. Grab a copy on Ravelry.

An otherwise simple top can be made a little more interesting with the addition of a fun edging, like on Sarah Opie’s Seashell Tank. Worked in fingering weight yarn, it has a whopping 24 sizes and lots of customization options for making it fit the way you want. The edging is crocheted. Learn more on Ravelry.
