It’s The Sweatshop of Love’s FIFTH anniversary week (yeah, I’m taking a week, damn it!) and to celebrate I’m having a big sale!
All Sweatshop patterns, kits, and knits are 30% off! Use coupon code SOL5YEARS in both my Etsy shop and Ravelry designer page to get this big discount. The coupon expires Sunday, so get up on it!
Giveaway #1!
I’ve decided that if we start knitting for summer it will show up, so I’m going to help the process by giving away patterns and yarn for two of my most popular summer designs! First up is the Traverse City Tube Top:
Traverse City Tube Top
Traverse City Tube Top is a quick knit cotton top with a back button closure and breezy stitch patterned body. It’s really hot on it’s own and still pretty hot over a long sleeved tee.
I’m giving away the pattern AND the Knit Picks Comfy Sport yarn you’ll need to make it! They’ve got a heap of new colors so I’m pretty jealous of the winner of this giveaway. Already have the pattern? That is ok! You can still win the yarn!
There are Three Ways To Enter:
- Leave a comment on this post! Tell me how you will rock this knit out.
- Follow me on twitter and tweet this giveaway mentioning me, @sweatshopoflove, and linking this blog post. Come back and leave me another comment telling me you did! You do not need to be a new follower.
- Like The Sweatshop on facebook and post this giveaway on your facebook page, linking my facebook page and this blog post. Come back and leave me another comment telling me you did! You do not need to be a new facebook liker.
You’ve got until Wednesday night to enter! I’ll be announcing the winner of this giveaway on Thursday, when I announce my Giveaway #2!
This is just a little way for me to show my gratitude to you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!
And good luck!
This is an awesome giveaway, yall! From a non-knitting male’s perspective, his is a great pattern that is super fashionable. Get up on it!

I would rock this knit with my BIG pregnant belly….or perhaps my prudent would be to rock it with my late Summer getting back to normal after birth belly. Thanks for hosting the giveaway!

So far I’ve only made myself a hat. So I’d love this pattern to make myself something great!

This tube top would look so great on my fiancee, and I’ve been wanting to maker her something special.
Comment by Rob — April 25, 2011 @ 10:23 am
Super cute! Love the button detail the back. Would be great to finally make myself something! Happy Anniversary!
Comment by Jennie — April 25, 2011 @ 10:26 am
hmmm, i’ve ever worn a tube top before, so i would rock this out as the very first tube top of my life…better late than never, at age 27…:)
Comment by courtney — April 25, 2011 @ 10:34 am
Well, since the last time I went to Knit Picks to buy yarn to make this top I got sidetracked and ended up buying two sweaters worth of sale yarn, perhaps I should just leave the tube top yarn buying to you! Congrats on 5 years!!!
Comment by Katie — April 25, 2011 @ 10:40 am
I would rock this in a linen color with dark skinny cropped jeans and espadrilles. Super cute pattern.

Personally, I don’t think I could pull off the tube top, but either of my daughters would rock one big time!

I love sleeveless tank tops- I would maybe wear with a pair of jeans…but more likely with my favorite cargs and flip flops. Happy Anniversary!

I would make this tube top for my best friend who gets most of my knits and would look great in a tube top.
Comment by Denise — April 25, 2011 @ 6:00 pm
Retweeted bc I have been coveting this pattern for months…

Whether or not I can pull it off remains to be seen … meaning wearing the tube top, not pulling it off. I’m sure I can easily get it on and off myself. ^_^
Comment by Uhmanduh — April 25, 2011 @ 7:27 pm
I retweeted the link on twitter! (i also googled “how to retweet” to make sure i was doing it correctly, so this has already been a very educational contest for me).

I would rock this out 100% all the time! I live in California so I need a lot of good looking summer knits and this is just too cute!!
Comment by Citlalli — April 26, 2011 @ 1:36 am
I think I would look pretty cute in this top as I hit up fiber festivals this summer!
Comment by Miranda — April 26, 2011 @ 10:08 am
I couldn’t get the coupon code to work on Ravelry! I wanted to buy some patterns that weren’t on you Etsy page. How can I get it to work?
Comment by Miranda — April 26, 2011 @ 10:12 am
I would rock it with a high waist open-hip skirt!
Comment by Treewool — April 26, 2011 @ 10:59 am
I followed on twitter and tweeted about the contest! I’ve been looking for more summer patterns – I would rock this with a skirt and some wedges.
Comment by OhDoogs — April 26, 2011 @ 11:46 am
I would and eventually will make it as a dress for Cordia.
Comment by Lori Morrison-Contreras — April 26, 2011 @ 3:09 pm
Jeans, my favorite black leather foldover shoes, and some FANTASTIC vintage jewelry!
(also, I retweeted your comment about this contest @purdymaryk)
Comment by Mary — April 26, 2011 @ 8:11 pm
So cool top and giveaway! I’d might rock this top in a great summer color like sunny yellow or maybe something shiny sparkly and deep red to layer. Choices choices! Either way this top is ultra cute, cool and the back button is superb.
Comment by Stacie Dawson — April 26, 2011 @ 9:09 pm
And furthermore, this top would look great as a dress with wedges or over my army green capris with flip flops OR over my cap sleeve T and skinny dark jeans with lots of silver bangles and hoop earrings.
Comment by Stacie Dawson — April 26, 2011 @ 9:14 pm
Just came across this blog and LOVE the pattern! Would love to win your pattern and yarn.

Being a guy, I don’t think I could get away with this tube top. But it wouldn’t be hard to find someone who’d love it! Thanks for the giveaway.
