Cleopatra Tank - Finished!

I finished this up this morning.  It was a fun knit, very easy, but a very nice design.  I like simplicity.  I also like the yarn, Ty-Dy and Ty-Dy-Dots by Knit One, Crochet Too, it is wonderful to work with, and feels great to wear.  I will be making more things with this yarn (I already have a pattern and some yarn waiting in the queue) and more of this specific pattern.

Coincidentally, I started reading the new biography of Cleopatra by Stacy Schiff last night.  I have always been fascinated by that age and by Cleopatra herself.  So far the book is living up to all the hype that it has been getting.

Cleopatra Tank

I started this on August 30.  I needed a simple knitting project for my work bag and found this cute top on the Yarn Market web site.  It uses Knit One Crochet Too Ty-Dy and Ty-Dy Dots.  The yarn is 100% cotton, worsted weight, and wonderfully soft to work with, but not mushy, and the colors are beautiful.  I like working with it so much that I've ordered another project using Ty-Dy, this Lacy Summer Tunic
