And.... It kept on Blazing

 Hi Loves, 

With the fire lit and continually blazing, another bikini was on the needle in no time.  This one was also a modified version of yet another Shyler Crochet's Designs.  This time I modified her Crochet High Rise Bikini Bottom.  Her version was a thong but I decided on making mine cheeky.  Do you like this version as well?

The Fire Was Lit

 Hi Loves, 

The fire was lit after the previous post " Summer All YearRound".  "What do you mean?" you asked.  Well, my creativity engine got turning and the following bikini was birthed. The top is an original design while the bottom was a modified version of Shyler Crochet's Mesh Bikini.

















Think I may keep this one for myself.

Summer All Year Round

 Hi loves, 


After the beanie/slouchy spree the paradigm was switched completely.  It started when I received a call from my aunt who taught me how to crochet. I was so excited I didn't even listen to what she was saying, I just told her "Give me 30 minutes and I'll be by your house".  When I got there she was on her phone talking, I heard someone else's voice and tried asking if it was her daughter but she was busy chatting away.  To my surprise, I saw a figure step into the room and it was that of my cousin I haven't seen in over 5 years (she lives abroad).  We had our greeting, and then she asked if I had a swimsuit she could purchase.

I replied yes, showed her the picture then informed her I would return home to retrieve it so it can be fitted.  

 

I took the bikini to her, the bottom was perfect but the bra cup was no match for her DDD (man I didn't see or guessed that from the outfit she had on).  I decided to make a completely different bikini for her.  This was Wednesday and she needed it for the weekend.  Short notice right she thought... But ya girl loves a challenge.  I went home and decided on what color and yarn to use as she was open to "whatever".  Before the night was done I completed one bra cup but decided to take that for a fitting, as your girl has never made any bralette for that size before.

With cup #1 completed and fitting perfectly, I did cup #2, finish the top, then on to the bikini bottom.  Time was not my friend that week as though I was done with the top in a matter of hours, the entire bikini had me thinking I would not meet the deadline.  I am happy to report that, not only did I make the deadline but it fitted her perfectly and was instantly loved.

Cup finish.     


After completing the bikini, I had no time to get any pic as it was already night.  It was delivered and in the morning a notification came in.  My IG page was instantly lit.

The Mad Hatter Finale

 Hi Loves

Part 6, the final of  "The Mad Hatter" posts, the last one of the four hats, and the second one she took.  With 2 other hats on my needles, my mind was already pondering other designs, so I cast on a third.  I fell in love with the heart of the hat pattern in the second Mad Hatter post and thought to make my own design with a heart for an adult-size slouchy.  Because she liked the grey color and I knew I wouldn't have enough to make her a complete hat (shhh don't tell anyone), the decision was made to do it in 2 colors.  It turned out quite lovely, don't you think so?

The Mad Hatter (Part 5)

 Hi Loves

Part 5,  this one was on the knitting needle at the same time as the number 2. Can you tell I was really charged up?  Caramel in color, the concept is a modified basket weave stitch.
