Slip Stitches Add Fun to This Tank Top Knitting Pattern

I make no apologies for the fact that I’m going to be sharing a lot of tank top knitting patterns here for a while. Where I live we went from the cool and rainy part of spring straight into 90 degree days and it is not OK.

I am feeling the need to knit and sew a bunch of new summer tops so I’m taking you along for the ride.

First up is the Cosmic Ray tank from Gabriella Knits. I love this one because it uses four colors of DK weight yarn, so it’s great for stash busting, and the stripes are made with slipped stitches, so it’s super easy and fast to knit up.

The design is worked in one piece in the round from the top down and is offered in 8 sizes up to a 61.25 inch bust.

You can grab the pattern (which is on sale as I write this, though I don’t know how long it will be) from Ravelry.

One of my missions as a crafter is to encourage people to use what they have to make something great. Accumulating stash is fun, but at some point you realize that you have more than you can ever use, and that can be really overwhelming.

A couple of years ago I wrote a book called How to Declutter Your Craft Supplies, which is all about why it’s so hard to let go of stash and how to deal with it. This is something I still struggle with and I’m in the midst of cleaning out my office/studio yet again (seriously, how can I still have so much stuff when I’m not buying anything new?).

If you’re gearing up for spring cleaning (or fall cleaning!) you need to check out the Get Organized Toolkit, of which my book is a part. This collection of more than 60 ebooks, courses, guides and printables will help you organize your home, business, mind and life.

There are so many great products here, from decluttering guides to advice on how to organize your book collection, cleaning up your iPhone and dealing with mental clutter. You’ll learn all about minimalism, get a planner to help you stay on top of home maintenance and learn how to build a capsule wardrobe, among other things. It’s a great way to get a lot of helpful advice all at once to help you lead a more organized and peaceful life.

The bundle is on sale through March 29. You can read more about it on my blog or go here to buy. And if you have specific questions about decluttering craft supplies or using your stash I would love to hear them!
