Needleworkmonday

Hello everybody,

Greetings this beautiful day Monday. It is a special holiday here in Cebu, Charter Day, no work and no school for today also a relax day because yesterday The Iron Man, Triahlon Event was held here. Many streets were closed to give way for the participants for the running and biking event, while the swimming, crossing the Mactan Channel.

Thankful for FB for recalling what we post years and years ago. This Top I made 3yrs ago when we site visit the RFM Office in Pampanga.

I was amazed by their million plant growing on the huge trellis they made.

And, posing posing shot...

Here, we stopped over by Double Happiness a bus stop over where the driver can eat his breakfast and the passengers by the restroom.

This blouse I constructed with just simple chains and shell stitch made of cotton, Monaco Mercerized Cotton using #2 steel hook or 2.5 hook. I started with no long chains foundation, just three Chains and I Extended Double Crochet on the 3rd Chain from hook, just repeat and make longer measuring my full bust, joined and work it all around up to the last row in between my lap. Then, I made the back part up to the shoulder and next the front side, right side first from armpit to the center then back and forth up the shoulder. Next, the left side joined the shoulder and the last the edging, with scallop stitch.
A closer look...

Thankful I brought it here in Cebu. For most of my crocheted top I left them in Olongapo City.
Oh, here my stones collected on that day...

Suggestions to begginers Crochetist or Crochet Artist who have not made a top yet, make one for you. Use your nice fit t-shirt as the pattern.
