And who voted for tank tops to be put into a knitting pack??? We have enough of those already.
Maybe because you can knit them in real life? Maybe because in real life knitting isn't restricted to winter clothing? (It really depends on the yarn you use, search Pinterest and Ravelry.) Maybe because in real life 32, with it's empire line, is a really flattering style for a lot of women and would make a really comfortable maternity top. Maybe because our game is short on cute clothing that looks good on pregnant sims.
I'm disappointed that they are not considering at the moment to make 32 a craftable top as it looks knitted in the concept art. I went looking for patterns for similar tops. Here are some of them: (I haven't included the crochet patterns I found since we are going to knitting the craftable items.)

Most of these patterns use a lacey knitting technique that is otherwise missing from the CAS items that were in the survey and is used not just adult clothing but also extensively in baby, toddler and childrens' wear. Were we offered anything like these in the CAS survey?

If there was a dress like one of these for toddlers or children I certainly would have voted for it, I was really disappointed in the selection for toddlers clothing and in the end only voted for 72 (although I did consider 71 but rejected it because it was not knitted and too similar to the outfit from Cats and Dogs).
So we are left with 32 as the only item that can be knitted with a lacy knit.
I also think all of the guys' tops should be knittable.
I think it would be cool if the cardigan and dress from 21 were both knittable and the dress was available as a separate item.
I agree with people about 33 but it is the only CAS item that was in the art style concept art for DIY that made it through and there must been enough people who voted for that art style because of that top for it to get through. It does fit the arts and craft theme though since it is embroidered.
I would be disappointed if these were the only CAS items that we could knit I was hoping that the reason why there was only 15 items for CAS and some of of those clearly not knittable is that we would get additional CAS items that can only be unlocked by knitting.
