Day 10 Winner

August 6, by Sarah White. 5 Comments

shawl book winnerThis is another time the random number generator is making me smile. One of the commenters on this post said she was getting the roundup e-mail from Craft Gossip and when she clicked on the link it said the giveaway was closed.

This has something to do with the timing of when those links are automatically pulled from the website, but the good news is I have to manually close comments on the giveaways, so you can actually still reply (and enter) when it says it is closed, so long as I haven’t picked a winner yet.

The reason this is a funny story is because the winner is number 67, Carrie, the exact person who made that comment. So, see, there’s no penalty in entering a little late. Congratulations!

    That is funny. I was getting so bugged by it, I was checking my emails settings to see if it was hanging things up. I always get my craft gossip just after midnight, and I’m not ashamed to say I open right up to start peeking and bookmarking all the links I want to read and explore in more detail the next day. Just thrilled to end up with a book of shawls, it’s what is on my needles now, and what is considered winter wear here in arizona. Heck it’s summer wear here too with the AC that is cranked down wherever you go. Glad to find out I wasn’t going crazy, and I have something to look forward too. Thank you.

    Ive noticed that too but then Im over in the UK so time differences obviously factor in there. The US only draws I would be unable to take part in anyway and I tend not to enter any that are postally heavy, out of fairness to the Giveaway-er!
    I do enjoy reading the digests though and learn a great deal as well as find some fascinating blogs in any case.
    Congrats Carrie!

    Good to know. I was bummed when I got the message after having to fill in at hubby’s office yesterday and missing my morning coffee and blog crawl!

    I have been getting most of them after they are closed too. Not sure why.

Have you read?

A Short and Sweet Top to Knit for Summer

I think one of the things that keeps me from wearing some of the summer tops that I have knit is that when they use worsted weight yarn, they’re actually heavier and warmer than a normal T-shirt would be. Which sometimes is fine, since I tend to be cold, but it’s not always what you want from your warm-weather gear.

That’s why shirts and tops knit with fingering (aka sock) yarn are so great. They’re super light weight and honestly they don’t take as long to knit as you probably think they will.

I’m sure that’s true with the Maya Top from Gavriella Treminio, especially if you choose the cropped length option. This top down sweater has a textured circular yoke with bobbles and eyelets, while the rest of the body is worked in stockinette stitch. Other than the integrated ribbed neckband, other edges are left in stockinette so they will roll slightly to finish the casual look. 

The design comes with seven different size options, ranging from 36 to 62 inches in the chest. The pattern page doesn’t say how much ease is meant to be included in the pattern, but starting at size 36 would leave it pretty roomy for folks in the smaller sizes.

I don’t think the suggested yarn is made anymore, but it looks like a top that would be lovely in a mercerized cotton or a linen and silk blend, something with a little bit of shine to it. This is one of those times when the yarn suggestions on Ravelry can be super helpful because you can see what yarn other people used and how their finished projects came out.

You can get this pattern on Ravelry.

Looking for more summer top patterns? I’ve collected some lacy top knitting patterns here, and a few great tank top knitting patterns here.
