Designer Kapur is to thank
It's quick and it's easy
The eyelet border's breezy
And it barely takes more than a hank.
Yup back at you with a limerick* introducing a spotlight on the Pompano Tank from Drop Dead Easy Knits. With bonus give away, thanks to Louet North America.

Such a pretty top, and I like the tunic length. It would be fun to knit.
How nice of Louet to choose my favorite color! And yes, it will play well as a "it's going to get hot later" fall or spring sweater.
Hope I win!

Wow, I love Jani's version - what a great idea to knit it in wool. That would make it a wonderful transitional piece! (Not that I don't love the linen version, it is so awesome as well!)
That clever Jani!
Love the tank, love the color.
I would love to be able to wear this on the 2018 Thimble Island Knitting Cruise!
Such a pretty top! Thanks for the giveaway.
I would love to knit this!
Thanks for the giveaway. Just starting knitting linen. Love the Pampano tank design.
I would doubly love to knit this -- linen and eggplant! My favs!
I'd love to make this.
Great book. Would love to make this!
I love this top! And I would love a chance to try the yarn and needles too. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
Love it!
I would love to make this! Thanks!
Super cute pattern that is definitely going on my to knit list! I love that it is bottom up too as my hips are more than a size bigger than the rest of my top half. Feels like that would make it easy to shape to really fit me.
And seriously What a great color! That eggplant would definitely look great over a black cami and under a nice cardigan to wear it in fall.
I'd love to try out the needles, and also the yarn! Thanks for the giveaway.
I love Euroflax and the pompano tank looks like the perfect summer top
Love this tank and the color of the Euroflax yarn!
Oh, I love the tunic length! I have a long torso, and some tops hit me just at the wrong place.
Love the eyelet border and the beautiful beach pics!
I love the tunic! Very curious about square needles. Do they end up with the same gage as their round counterparts?

That color is fabulous
That color is fabulous
Love pattern, eggplant linen and want it!
Wishing, and hoping I win this! I've lost weight (intentionally) over the last six months and I'd love to celebrate by making this for me! And I'll wear it to Rhinebeck, even if I have to layer (highly likely to need layers)! Thank you!
Knitting this in blue right now, but would love to knit a second in the "original" color!
What a great giveaway--and I love the color!
Love this tank and the tunic length is wonderful. Just purchase Drop Dead Easy Knits and can't wait to knit this up.
Love this eggplant color! I already have the book, maybe having the perfect yarn will motivate me to knit the sweater!
great color! i have the book and always wanted to make that top. cute and simple.
I have a pair of those needles and I love them. The eggplant color is beautiful. Would love to knit this! Yum!
That is a beautiful sweater, and I love the eggplant color! Thanks for hosting the giveaway.

I asked for, and received Drop Dead Easy for Christmas last year. This pattern is one I have marked to make. Would be a special bonus to get complimentary yarn and needles to do so!!

Beautiful! I've never knitted with Euroflax & have an expert knitter friend who can help me if I get stuck so would LOVE to try it. Thank you.
I adore Euroflax, this pattern, and the colour. I've been thinking I need more linen in my wardrobe - winning it would be grand!
I love that color! I got the book last year and have admired this pattern.
What a cute tank! Here in Hawaii it would be a year-round wear! Love the color too! Winning would be really fun! Jane @ thezenkitchen@hotmail.com
Perfect summer top. So breezy. Love that color of the sample the model is wearing.
Thank you for this opportunity to to win a fantastic fiber Euroflax and wonderful needles. This Pompano pattern looks so lucious
I'm a huge fan of Euroflax and have made a lot of shawls, tops and accessories using it. It works great here in the hot/humid state of Georgia as well as when we go to visit family back in Florida. Eggplant has been one of my favorite colors since it was introduced.
I love this tank and Euroflax! What a great contest. Thanks for the chance to win.
Absolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful prize!
I have my own copy Drop Dead Easy Knits
I cast on a Pompano Tank, after receiving my copy. I made a huge mistake on the back, and failed to rip back and continue to knit.
I would LOVE a do over, working in the same yarn and color way
in order to take mine out of a time out project bag and complete it as well.
Love this tank and the color of the linen. Thanks to all for the opportunity.

I seriously love this, the colour is perfect, thanks for sharing it xx
12.58pm suejewison @hotmail.com thanks
I love this!
Not being a wool fan, I adore Euroflax. I have several tanks already knit in various colors, but could always use another!
This tank is just the thing for summer! I love Euroflax and would love to have another garment made with it and the eggplant shade is so rich looking!
Yes! Of course I'd like to be considered for this raffle!! Me! Me! Me! Pick me!!!
I love louder euroflax. It gets softer and softer after you wash it. And the colors are amazing!
The one tank I have done is with linen and is lovely. This tank looks very versatile and I love the tunic conversion you mentioned. Sign me up!
Beautiful pattern and beautiful yarn - looks like a joy to knit and to wear!
I'd be glad to knit this lovely tank,
What if I can't in just one hank?
I'll use two even if it means ripping,
I'm from Canada, but I'd be glad to pay shipping.
Oh, Euroflax linen, oh, joy! Love that stuff. And Pompano is lovely, too. Thanks for giving us all some inspiration!
Though I love knitting things at the beach
The Louet yarn is out of my reach
If perchance I should win
I shall have to begin
And thank Gale and Kirsten once, each.
Love Euroflax linen! Such a delight to work with!
What a gorgeous combination of pattern and yarn! Always grateful for the opportunity to try something new.
I drool over this top every time I see it. I suppose I really should cast on . . .
(How did you like yours in wool? Other than the fact that it didn't fit, I mean. I think it would make a sweet fall layering piece!)

Dying to knit with linen!
Wow! Love the design and the yarn is gorgeous. Your pictures are wonderful ! Thanks so much for the chance to win!
Love the colour, love the fibre and would love to try square needles. :-)
I love the colour and the pattern. I would love to try knitting with linen!
That tank will look wonderful on me in that pretty blue Euroflax. I'd love to try It, I hope there is a size to fit me!
Love this pattern and Euroflax drapes so beautifully!
What an awesome pattern! It is about to go in my favorites. Love the color of the giveaway yarn also.
Thanks for the great contest!
Linen is fabulous.
I am willing to risk shipping to Canada.

I'd love to knit this top! It's the perfect colour to wear with my steel grey hair.
Love ❤ the color 🍆 ....plus I love Louet linen. Thanks for the opportunity to win such lovely yarn & needles.
Oo, I've been thinking of casting on a nonwool tank to transition in fall. Thanks for reminding me of this pattern!
How pretty! I would love to make this. Thanks for the giveaway!
This is so fresh and classy! I'm on vacation, knitting every day at the beach and this would be perfect! Thanks for the chance to win and for making a great piece.
That is truly lovely -- perhaps it's time for me to tackle a knitted tank.
Love the top and love the eggplant color! I'm on vacation on the Maine coast and have first hand knowledge of how useful a linen tank would be.
Love the pattern - and the yarn colour is perfect!
The yarn and the tank are lovely. I would love to knit this one!f
Love working with Louets linen and the square needles. Your tank top would be a plus to my wardrobe.
Was just thinking about knitting a tank... Love the drape of this in Louet linen!
Pretty top and I love linen for summer.
This is one of several patterns I marked in the book as soon as my copy arrived. I love it, and still need to make it!
I haven't knit with linen yet! Wouldn't this be a great opportunity? Yes, yes, yes!
Kirsten always has such wonderful designs. And living in Arizona, I can't pass up linen. I would love this in eggplant
I love knitting linen in the summer and this is such a lovely top! Thanks for the giveaway.
Love this pattern and the different lengths
This would be a great piece for the weather down here... have always wanted to try Euroflax.
Would love to try knitting with linen. Such a great pattern, very versatile. Thanks for a contest.
Euroflax is such a joy to knit, and this looks like the perfect project for it. Thanks for offering the give away.
Mary Lou sent me! That top looks lovely and I'd love some linen yarn, even if I have to pay to ship it to Canada!
Ah, I love Euroflax, and that tank! And that Eggplant color is everything....
Lovely pattern, and sweet giveaway. I'm knitting a Kapur pattern right now, and enjoying it quite a bit. It would be fun to try my hand at this top. Thanks!
The Eggplant color is fabulous...and linen!!! Would love the chance to knit this.
I love the book, pattern, and the yarn!
Fabulous and very generous giveaway! I love the colorway and the pattern! Thank you!

Love the color. Love the fiber (I can't wear wool).
Would love to win this. Will ok if I don't. Not uber happy but okay.
I would love to win! I love linen, and that's one of my favorite colors! I'm wordlily on Rav.
I've liked this tank since the book came out. I'd like to knit almost everything in the book.
This is a beautiful top! It looks so comfortable. I have never knit with linen and would love to give it a try.
Beautiful tank top in an amazing color!
This would be a dream to knit!!! I not only loveeee the color but the design is beautiful :) it's so flattering
My daughter will begin a new teaching job soon and this would make a lovely layering piece.

When I acquired the book I was surprised to see just how many of the patterns I wanted to immediately cast on. This tank was certainly on the list and I'd love to work it in eggplant.
Purple is my color, and I love, love, love linen (living in Florida,it is the best)!
I've never knit linen. This would be fun.
I've made two shawls and started a cardigan with Euroflax. Two of them were in eggplant! The yarn is a little bit of a pain to knit up, but the fabric after a few washes is so soft and comfy! I would love the chance to win more of this yarn!
Nice top. LOve it.
That's a really pretty tank top. When I knit my first tank top (more than a decade ago now), I was still a new enough knitter I didn't realize how it would grow and wore it to work just like a normal shirt. By lunch that damn thing was pinned to the top of my bra to keep it dipping any lower. Obviously I have worn it since, but always over another tank to avoid NSFW wardrobe malfunctions.
(I'm sprite on Ravelry, too, since I don't really want to leave my email address in a public forum.)
That's a beautiful tank! Thanks for hosting the giveaway... time to go add the pattern to my Rav queue!
I love linen tops and that color is a great one for all seasons.
Such a gloriously rich color, and the pattern is so stylish. Thanks for the giveaway. KittenWhiplash on rav.
The eggplant euroflax is stunning. What a nice giveaway!
I really like Euroflax for summer knitting. The eggplant color is great for year round wearing and will be great for layering. Thank you for the giveaway.
i love working with Euroflax and love Drop Dead Easy Knits. Fingers crossed.
I have been wanting to try Euroflax Linen for the longest time, and the eggplant color is beautiful.
Thanks so much for offering this giveaways!
That color is gorgeous!
Have had this one on my list for a long time!
