Crochet Top Complete!

Last December I started my annual Christmas crochet project, and this week I finished it!!

Crochet top complete!

In my defense I had almost finished it in June, with just a small section left to sew together! But for some unknown reason, it got parked and forgotten!

Perhaps I needed a diversion from work sewing;  perhaps I needed something appropriately 'autumnal' to wear at the moment!  Whatever inspired me to get it finished, it worked!

This is my first ever crocheted garment (100% cotton), and I'm mightily pleased it fits and is wearable!

And I was glad of it today - don't be fooled by the sunshine in these pictures!  We had the usual dose of heavy rain showers and plummeting temperatures!

  1. That is beautiful Judith and looks so well on you too. I keep getting these great shots drenched in sunshine in between the showers and I said today that I hope I don't look back in ten years and say it was a great summer!

  5. Every time I see something crocheted I think that I really must learn how to do it. I have even bought a book or two but somehow don't get the hang of it at all. I blame the fact the fact that I am left handed. x
