Sexy, Summer Halter Top, the Ribbon Sequel Completed!

See the full sized image in Photo GalleryHere is the second, finished halter top from my "Sexy, summer halter top" pattern. I worked this one in Plymouth yarn's Jungle and Eros ribbon yarns in the orange/rose/pink colorway. The two yarns are beautifully coordinated.
The pattern is knit in one piece (no seams!) and a very fast knit. The finished top is one size fits most - it is knit in one piece and wraps at the waist, and ties at the neck. The neckline and back can be as plunging as you dare, or more discreet, depending on how you tie the neck and wrap the waist.
I'm looking forward to seeing others make this sexy, summer halter!

Sexy Summer Halter, The Ribbon Sequel

See the full sized image in Photo GalleryWell, the pattern is working. I was able to work up the halter in Plymouth Yarn's flirt (as shown in a previous post) and now I'm almost finished with a second halter, from the same pattern, with Plymouth Yarn's Jungle and Eros. The pattern is extremely easy and took me only a couple of hours to do the bulk of the work. I just have the finishing touches to do now. Less that an hour of work left. Both of these yarns are fringe-worthy, and I am very tempted to embellish the halter with some fringe from one or the other, or both.
Neck i-cords are done, I just have to finish the i-cord around the waist and decide on fringe. Otherwise, its finished and awaiting photos.
I will try the pattern with a third yarn, and then I think it will be ready to print. I have a booth at a local art fair next month, and hope to sell patterns and kits alongside the finished garments that I usually sell.
Very exciting! My head is spinning with lots of ideas. There just isn't enough time in the day...
The photo on the right is preliminary - I will re-post when the finished item is complete (hopefully by tomorrow morning.)

Tunisian Crochet Grecian Goddess Poncho

This poncho is made with tunisian crochet with a very large hook, for an open, lacy effect. This project is lightning fast and absolutely gorgeous. Poncho is made in one piece, then sewn in two small spots: the shoulder and the wrist. When worn over bare shoulders, the entire arm is exposed. If Grecian Goddesses wore ponchos, this is what they looked like. The shoulder is affixed with a crocheted flower pin. Poncho shown here in Plymouth Yarn's Eros Glitz. Flower pin shown in Plymouth Yarn's Eros Glitz and Parrot.
