Self-striped crochet top for Clare – blue/green version

Here’s another of the self-striped tops!

I did a better job of this one than the previous version – I’d managed to figure out the trickier bits of the pattern the first time around.  It probably took me less time to make.  I’m excited because it doesn’t contain any pink and she was still very happy to wear it.  Yarn and pattern details are the same as before. 

A couple of close-ups for those of you who really want to check out the “quality” of the stitches – the front:

And the back:

Enough of those tops now!  Time to move on to one of the other crochet projects.  I’m tossing up between starting yet another scarf (but a different pattern in a different yarn), doing the 12″ block from the CAL (crochet a-long) that I’ve joined on ravelry , or starting a top for myself.  I like to have a few things of differing complexity and time commitment on the go, so that I can work on whatever suits my mood.

And for added interest – Miss Stella has started to crawl!  Properly!  Straight for the power points and any cords that are attached to them.  I think my crafting time is about to reduce dramatically.
