​Welcome to Episode 31 of the Mind and Muse Crafts podcast. In this episode I present one finished object, my version of the Summertime Tank that you can find at tlycblog.com.  I also discuss how I have advanced with my Crossed Stitch Crochet Top. I have begun a new crochet project that is especially not for the faint of heart! Thanks for visiting and hope you enjoy my company!

Walking the talk and End of the Line:

The Summertime Tank is a crochet summer top for beginners that can be found at http://tlycblog.com/the-summertime-tank-a-sleeveless-summer-cotton-top/
 
I am made the smallest size using Lionbrand’s Comfy Cotton in the Cloud Nine colorway with a 5mm crochet hook. I have made the top a bit longer and have also added sleeves using a filigree stitch pattern.
 
Pressing On:

1.  I continue to work on The Cross-stitched Top crochet pattern. It is a paid-for pattern that can be found at www.darngoodyarn.com/products/the-crossed-stitched-top-crochet-pattern . 
I am using Quince & Co Sparrow (sport weight organic linen) in the colorways: Little fern, Sans, Citron and Buttercup and a 2.25 mm crochet hook. The pattern only has one size, S/M.  I discuss my many mishaps with the pattern not due to an improper pattern but to my misunderstanding of the pattern. I also chat about some modifications that I have made to my version of the top.
 
2.  I recently decided to make a dress to wear to my son’s wedding in October. My first option was to make a vintage dress pattern I purchased on Etsy at called www.etsy.com/shop/ChicVintagePatterns called The Hostess Flower Dress. When I found the yarn I had purchased would not be appropriate for the pattern I chose a new pattern from Annie’s Crochet (https://www.anniescatalog.com) called the Everlasting Wedding Dress. This is going to take me a considerable amount of crochet time and I am hoping to finish in two months.

    About 10 years ago I discovered that there was a crafty side to me. Since then, there have even been times when I considered taking up crafting as a full time job. But, I guess that is something I have heard most people who practice some craft say.  Someday... one day... Until then...  I guess I'll just blog about it. Thanks for being part of the crafty side of my life! ​
