More Finished Items

Since my last post, I've finished another two items.  The previously mentioned top by DROPS design and also a top that was published in the most recent issue of Crochet Today!

The first item is the completed DROPS design, pattern #99-4.

Drops Design Short Tunic - "Mussel Trim"
This is a modified version of the original pattern in that it is shorter.  I also modified the bottom rows a bit, leaving the picots out of the first row and using them to finish the bottom hem. This is a fairly easy pattern, if someone has some experience in crochet.  Cannot wait to wear this over some shorts!

The 2nd one that I finished is this yellow tank.

100% Pima Cotton Tank 
This too is a modified pattern in that the original pattern found in the September/October issue of Crochet Today calls for a ruffled trim. This is the red shell on the cover.  The pattern calls for a worsted weight yarn and I made this with a Pima cotton thread for summer.  This is Cascade Yarns Ultra Pima.

This has been worn already and I really, really love it!  Light...  cool... airy...  It washes well also.
