So since I finished knitting the front of my Tina Tank and it was blocking (I'm planning on seaming it up tonight or tomorrow.) 
and my mom was supposed to have knee surgery today (long story-we were all there and they had to cancel it for today because of a UTI that the doctors office or someone there apparently forgot to call her and call in a RX for her)..I decided to start a new project, then another one.
The first is some nice easy brainless knitting...it is the Pretty in Pink tank from Delicious Stitches. ( I also want to make the Lillian tank of hers too) Super cute and super easy. 
I'm using some stash yarn..tangerine TLC cotton plus, it was cheap and it's cotton, and I've been watching it my stash for a couple of years and it hasn't knit itself into anything so I thought, hey why not!
The second project requires MUCH more thought! It's the Lotus Blossom tank from Interweave. 
I believe it's still a free download on Knitting Daily. I have the SWTC Bamboo (first generation-not as soft as the current version I hear) I intend to make it longer by 1 or 2 lace repeats. I'll decide when I get there-as I'm only on round 12 Right now!
It's still in the 90s here in my part of Ohio which is crazy because last week it was like 60! OK so I'm trying not to complain too much, the 90s are just to hot for outside knitting which is one of my favorite things to do in the summer. So I started the cleaning out of my sewing room. 
I am trying to do a major overhaul and get rid of a bunch of stuff that has been laying around for quite some time. 
So far I have one garbage bag of small scraps, and 1 30 gallon bag of fabrics to try to sell at our garage sale in a few weeks or give away. I also have 2 quilts in progress that I have decided to part with. They will never be finished! I have some embroidery blanks and stuff still to go through. I don't use the embroidery unit for my sewing machine very much anymore...I'd rather be knitting. I still have a ton to do, and will work on it some more tomorrow. Then onto the yarn! Scary...
Looking good!!!

Tina's looking good - can't wait to see it modeled! I also have the yarn for that Lotus Blossom Tank and will eventually get around to making that one.
I want to find a place to give my fabric scraps to as I want to clean those out, but I don't want to just throw them away. Any ideas?

Yeah I've been meaning to do a big stash reorganization, too. Perhaps tonight since it's so crappy out I won't be working in the garden... hmmmm..
Can't wait to see the Lotus Blossom Tank - the color you picked for it is beautiful!
