Mr T wondering what I am doing...
me wondering what I was doing...
best I can do I am afraid...Phil was asleep and I couldn't wait for him to get up and take them lol
but at least you can see what it looks like as a cropped top...but do I leave it as it is or lengthen it???
Made several items to wear using this motif from collars to tops to shawls.
Happy Hooking

    Hi Sue, your flowery top looks fabulous and great on black. I love the way your necklace and glasses are colour coordinated too!
    It looks good in the cropped length, though I go for longer lengths on tops for me because of hips! But how you feel about the length on you is the main thing!

    I love it the length it is, the colours are just wonderful, I have been looking at the same yarn and am very tempted, sorry if you have already said but did you use just one variant the the passion or different ones and did you use a pattern for the top or is it something you made up yourself? Thanks in advance x

    Thanks for modeling for us.. what a hoot to see all the tries! You look great and so does the top.. I like it how it is, but also think it'd look fab a bit longer! You're a walking piece of art! Wearable art! ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

    I don't post pics of my crochet in real time.. sometimes months to years after finishing. many FO's are still waiting. This was a valliant effort (and in your case success!) to get those photos 😉 so glad you posted all the attempts.. it reminded me that I have a timer on my camera! I thinking that will help a lot... 😂 I think this is a lovely motif and I can't wear cropped tops, but I envision a large wrap when I look at this beauty! In the spirit of the flower theme I'd boldly add fringe to such a wrap! Gorgeous yarn too! My younger, svelte daughters would DEFINITELY wear this crop top!
