Hello everyone ✨
Many people have their various preferences when it comes to clothing materials. As today is #needleworkmonday, I'd love to show you this tank top I made and why I made it.
There is this annual event I attend each year in August. The event is basically a gathering of people;mostly youth. I made it a point of duty to attend this event each year because there are a whole of things to learn.
My experience last year at this event was a very terrible one. It started when my mobile device got bad and as such, I had to travel with my PC. The clothes I took with me weren't very comfortable and as such, instead of concentrating more on the roundtable discussion and activities, I was trying so hard to achieve comfort. As I came back from the event, I vowed that this year was going to be better. With that, I thought of the best possible outfits to wear and the first thing that came to mind was "crochet outfits".
August is still somewhat far away and so I have enough time to make three outfits as the event is always a three day event. With that, I'd love to present my first outfit for project-August.
For this project, I used two basic stitches; double crochet for the hand of the top and single crochet for the body of the top. I used a single crochet for the body of the top to prevent large spaces as my stitches aren't as tight as I would want them to be. I like this yarn very much as it is stretchy and so it could fit people plus or minus the original size.
It took me three days to make this piece. On the first day, I made the green part of the tank top. On the second day, I was contemplating which colour to add to the green as I didn't want the tank top to look so dull. I checked out a different shade of green colour, orange colour, red colour, black colour and even white colour but none of them seemed to fit right and so I finally settled for yellow.
I feel the yellow colour compliments the green colour. It helps to create a contrast and at the same time bring out the beauty of the tank top.
With one hundred and fifty chains, I made the hands of the tank top. At first, I didn't know if that number would be enough as I had it in mind to make the crossback effect but then I realised that my shoulders aren't that high. The number was just right.
I went ahead to make the loopholes for easy passage of the yarn. The first and last time I made a top with no loopholes, I struggled to get the yarn through the stitches and so, I didn't want that to repeat itself.
I finished this project yesterday at night and I was just so eager to try it on. It fit perfectly and so I went ahead to explore my options. I thought of wearing it with a palazzo and a jacket to go with it; making it look formal. Do you have any other recommendations?
This is my entry to the ongoing focus your needlework challenge
I would appreciate your views and suggestions on this tank top. What do you think about the colour? Too dim or too shouty? Or just right?.

Hola a todos ✨
Mucha gente tiene sus distintas preferencias en cuanto a materiales para vestir. Como hoy es #needleworkmonday, me encantaría enseñaros esta camiseta de tirantes que he hecho y por qué la he hecho.
Hay un evento anual al que asisto todos los años en agosto. Se trata básicamente de una reunión de gente, en su mayoría jóvenes. Me he propuesto asistir a este evento cada año porque hay muchas cosas que aprender.
Mi experiencia el año pasado en este evento fue terrible. Empezó cuando mi dispositivo móvil se estropeó y, como tal, tuve que viajar con mi PC. La ropa que me llevé no era muy cómoda y, en lugar de concentrarme más en la mesa redonda y las actividades, me esforcé mucho por estar cómoda. Al volver del evento, me prometí que este año iba a ser mejor. Con eso, pensé en los mejores conjuntos posibles para llevar y lo primero que me vino a la mente fue "conjuntos de ganchillo".
Agosto está todavía algo lejos y por eso tengo tiempo suficiente para hacer tres outfits ya que el evento es siempre de tres días. Con eso, me encantaría presentaros mi primer outfit para el proyecto-Agosto.
Para este proyecto, utilicé dos puntos básicos; ganchillo doble para la mano del top y ganchillo sencillo para el cuerpo del top. Utilicé punto bajo para el cuerpo del top para evitar grandes espacios ya que mis puntos no están tan apretados como me gustaría. Me gusta mucho este hilo, ya que es elástico, por lo que podría quedar bien a personas de más o menos la talla original.
Tardé tres días en hacer esta prenda. El primer día hice la parte verde de la camiseta. El segundo día estuve pensando qué color añadir al verde, porque no quería que la camiseta pareciese aburrida. Estuve mirando distintos tonos de verde, naranja, rojo, negro e incluso blanco, pero ninguno me encajaba, así que al final me decidí por el amarillo.
Creo que el color amarillo complementa al verde. Ayuda a crear un contraste y, al mismo tiempo, resalta la belleza de la camiseta de tirantes.
Con ciento cincuenta cadenas hice las manos de la camiseta de tirantes. Al principio, no sabía si ese número sería suficiente, ya que lo tenía pensado para hacer el efecto de espalda cruzada, pero luego me di cuenta de que mis hombros no son tan altos. El número era justo el adecuado.
Me adelanté a hacer las troneras para facilitar el paso del hilo. La primera y última vez que hice un top sin troneras, me costó mucho pasar el hilo por los puntos, así que no quería que se repitiera.
Terminé este proyecto ayer por la noche y tenía muchas ganas de probármelo. Me quedaba perfecto así que me lancé a explorar mis opciones. He pensado en ponérmelo con un palazzo y una chaqueta a juego, para que parezca formal. ¿Tienes alguna otra recomendación?
Este es mi trabajo para el focus your needlework challenge
Agradecería vuestras opiniones y sugerencias sobre esta camiseta de tirantes. ¿Qué os parece el color? ¿Demasiado tenue o demasiado chillón? ¿O simplemente correcto?

Con amor, wongi ✨
It was so cool seeing how a top like this as made ,I've always wanted to crochet a top. My first one is a bit wonky but that's completely on me for not using the right size of needle. I'm sure my next one will be better. Thanks so much for making this
You're very much welcome. I'm glad you liked it. Although I'm still new to crocheting, You could always reach out if you need clarification on anything.
Thank you for coming around ✨
Yah😊😘😘
Hello, the combination of that shirt is very nice 🌹
Oh,thank you so much. I'm glad you like the colour combination ✨
Being distracted because we are constantly trying to adjust our clothing sucks, glad you find time to make yourself a more comfy tank top, specs of die. It looks beautiful.😍
This year, I hope I wouldn't be adjusting my clothes up and down.
Oh dear, thank you very much. I'm glad you like it😘
Yes I agree with all. That yellow really helps bring out that beautiful green. The pieces you mentioned you’ll be wearing with it sounds like a good plan. I think your outfit will be a hit. Thanks for the closeups on the stitches ~ 😉
I also hope it is a hit 😄 and above all, I hope it keeps feeling comfortable.
Thank you❣️
Beautiful ❤️❤️
