Tankini
Why I've not been blogging much this week: for my beach trip next month, I made myself a tankini:

(I wanted it to be longer, but I ran out of yarn, and The Yarn Shop, of course, didn't have any more of that color.)
It's made with Schachenmayr Catania with a 2.25 mm hook. The cups are three granny squares (based on the Lacy Cross square from 200 Crochet Blocks - just the first five rounds), and the bottom is the Filet Squares pattern from The Crochet Stitch Bible - easily my favorite crochet reference book, (along with Crocheting School). I really liked the way the filet squares pattern echoes, but doesn't copy, the lacy cross pattern. The ties are just single crochet; I like the curly effect of them.
I think I'll make a bikini top, too, with an orphan skein of yarn I found when I went to check for more yarn today. More Catania. I love that yarn. :)

It looks terrific on you, gorgeous color too! Are you trying to make us look at your boobies???????? (LOL)
If she was trying to make us look at her breasts she'd have put more sparkly bits on it.
that is really quite something!
the color is gorgeous on you! and very cool.
wooooooo i love the green! i like the motifs you used too.
can i ask where in central ohio you are? im actually in columbus, ohio myself. =D
Looks great!! Love the color....my only complaint is that it is cheaper for you to buy the Schachenmayr Catania than it is for me....and its a European brand of yarn! Although my color selection is larger :-)
cool
but not quite see-thru enough for the internet
i suppose i could always photoshop it
but i'm lazy
ooooh! That's pretty. :)
Very cool!
What? No sparklies?
OOOH! Looks AWESOME on you! I'm jealous, I can't pull something like that off anymore, too many sagging parts... Fab job, and it works sooo well with that tattoo across your shoulders too!
