Hi craftpals,
Happy #NeedleworkMonday!
I did it! I finally did it! I crocheted the pieces and sewed them to the blouse!
Sorry it took so long. I cannot tell you how many times did I re-crochet the pieces. It is too embarrassing 😳
I decided to alternate the colors to "solve" the not-enough-yarn problem and it worked out pretty ok with the stripes effect. I'm pretty pleased with it.
And now, I have a small extra piece from the earlier crocheted waist piece (it turned out I am left with some extras after doing the stripe effect), what should I make with it 🤔?
If you are reading about this mint blouse for the first time and are wondering what is the story behind this mint blouse, do check out my previous posts:
Part 1: Needlework experiments that did not go as planned... advice please?

Thank you for dropping by! 🤗
Hello @marblely, congratulations at finishing your piece. I love the colours of the striped crochet.
Thank you @shanibeer! I was worried at first that it might look funny. Thank you for your support 😘
I love what you did with the blouse and the two different yarn colors work really well. They enhance the "ribbing" look of the crochet parts. Have fun wearing it!
Thank you @muscara!
I like the outcome, glad you can now move on to other pieces . For the extra piece I don't know how a little purse sounds, if it's enough for that, you could decorate it a bit and it will be useful besides we can never have too many purses.
Thank you @wondermaey! Yes, I am quite relieved that I can now move on to new projects 😅 Ah a little purse sounds like a good idea. Think I will do that. Thank you for the idea!
It's great to find creative solutions to problems - your striped effect looks really good, maybe even better than a single-colour would look like, well done!
Thank you @vliet!
It looks great @marblely 😊 ! I really like the mint colour and I think it will be very comfortable to wear too.
Thank you @cryptocariad! Truthfully, you motivated me to finish the blouse :) I was pretty much giving up but when you asked about this blouse last 2 weeks, I felt driven. Thank you, thank you @cryptocariad 😘😘😘
Thanks to you for sharing the finished look @marblely 😊 !!
Nice Finish @marblely!! I too love the stripe affect, it gives it even more character and PIZAZZ!! 😄😉
So do you like the way it fits you now? I’m curious of how it lays on you at the bottom.
Oh and don’t be embarrassed, you should feel very accomplished that you tried out an idea and carried it through~ 😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you @crosheille! I like that.. PIZAZZ! Hehe. Yes I like how it fits now, I'm thinking to add elastic rubber to keep it flexible in case I put on weight =D. Thank you for your kind words and support 😘😘😘
You’re very welcome!! 😄
Yay I’m glad you like the way it fits...a total success!
Of course, it’s my pleasure. 😘😍
Yeah! You finished the blouse and it looks beautiful. A hurray to your persistence <3 Your yarn idea is good; the alternating colour is perfect for the rib pattern and I still love the mint.
With the spare ribbing... frogging and crocheting a matching headband to wear with the blouse?
Yay! Thank you @neumannsalva! Ooo frogging.. that is another new term for me :D. Ah another good idea.. a matching headband. Thanks to you, this blouse and yarn has a name now.. the mint blouse hehe.
Fantastic looking blouse! You can turn the left over into a head band, I think it will be great!
Thank you @icyby! Yes, a headband! Thank you for the idea and for stopping by. I shall play around and see :)
Beautiful experiment
Thank you @carovargasv! :)
