My amused other half described it as a paintball target top. My sister said it would look best ‘on a teddy’. One of my twin daughters refused to even try it on. Step forward today’s bolder twin, brave Elia, our psychedelic model for my latest crochet foray.
For some reason I cannot recall, I needed to make a 1970’s tank top a la toddler. So having found an original pattern from the era, off I went, having chosen perhaps the most garish colour scheme known to yarn. Nope, I have no idea what made me want to try neon either. But it’s not ALL bad…on the plus side, I followed my first clothing pattern and actually made something for my child to wear. Repeat: I MADE something to wear! That’s a big first around here, and if only I’d chosen a pattern and colour-scheme worthy of the effort, it would have truly been something to keep for the next generation. As it is, looks like Teddy is going to get a rather natty vest in which to attend his next picnic…
