Design inspiration can come from anywhere, and pop into your head at any time. Take yesterday for instance. Right after I cursed out a driver (in my mind) for swerving in and out of my lane in rush hour traffic, a design popped into my head for a sweater with a swerving neckline. I'm working on that one because I believe this design needs to come to life. I might call it "Traffic". Or maybe "&@$^*#%" would be a better name.
I have this notebook that contains sketches and notes for designs that just showed up in my head all of a sudden. Many of them have gotten as far as being swatched. I was flipping through said notebook and came across a sketch of a tank that I was designing for my best friend, but I didn't get past the swatch. This, too, needs to come to life.

So for my next knitting trick, watch me pull a tank top with an offset V-neck out of my hat.
