              That is stunning. I would like it as a wall hanging.

                    The art group I'm in has a weekly 'flash challenge'.
                    This week, it was Fox. I painted him loosely in watercolour! foxy.jpg

                      Good afternoon!

                      I am new to this thread and I sort of feel a bit rude and brash to come on here and ask for something.

                      As I live in France, I cannot follow a French knitting pattern - it is all diagrams. I have surfed the net for a pattern for a simple V-necked tank top. Most patterns seem to be quite fancy. I am looking for a pattern that is colourful as I have a bag of wool to delve into. Stripes, starry or fair isle isn't a problem for me. I simply need the guidance of a pattern - something like this:

                      699C8505-9411-49C2-B496-AE1A83B7A7C4_1_201_a.jpeg

                      Pleased to see you @Valley Gardener on here and hoped I might see Jacqui from Paris, as she loved crafting. There were various other crafter's from the GW site - but I can't seem to see them. Such a shame.

                      Thank you for reading this, and I hope someone can help me. There's no rush as I expect you are all preparing for the big event in 20 days' time!!

                      Tui

                        @Tui34 you could try looking here but I think you will need to register for an account. Ravelry

                          Hi @Tui34
                          Nice to hear from you again,a blast from GW !!
                          I agree with @katecat58 Ravelry are good,also Amazon,ebay and Pinterest have a lot of that sort of pattern. I've done a few tanktops,mine were plain but what a lovely idea to do colourful ones and use up some of your stash. (I'm using up my odd bits on stuffed toys)

                          I'm sure Jaqui has been on here,its not such a well used crafting thread as GW was,which is a pity.

                          Let us know if you have any luck with getting patterns,and see what you come up with!
                          Best wishes.

                              Good evening!!

                              Well! I have found the perfect tank top which I can adapt to my colours - it's perfect and really snazzy BUT there is nowhere I can purchase the pattern. Where do I find it - or how? Help!!
