Day #33 GAD & Project Finished!!


Do you remember this top I had started the other day?
It's from the Cotton Crochet (SIRDAR) Pattern Book

Well I have finished mine!!

I love it!!
I made a few more rows than the pattern advised as I wanted it to be more of a Beach Top / Cover Up than a T-Shirt and I have to face facts - if I had a body like the model in the picture I would have made it shorter !! 
LOL
I think I mentioned that I made this from Rowan Cotton Tape and not the recommended SIRDAR Luxury Soft Cotton DK - however there are more patterns in the book, so I might head to the wool shop tomorrow and get some in, so I can make another one this weekend!

What else did I do today?

Well I made sure that my Crochet Class Page is up to date
& I added this picture to the page and also to my 
Crochet Class Website


And of course I made GAD No.33 in plain white.  I was writing out a new pamphlet for my Crochet Classes on Making A Plain Granny & I wanted to check and double check the pattern, so I followed than and out came No. 33


And here are all 33 Squares together.

  1. I like that top. I'd be inclined to make the sleeves a bit longer, perhaps three-quarter length, and then wear it over brightly coloured long sleeved t-shirts/jumpers so you'd get winter wear out of it as well.

  2. Thanks Mrs J - the sleeves do come up quite long once on and I have to block it out yet. I might even make another one and as you suggest, make the sleeves that little bit longer!
