Lelah and Drops Swing Jacket

I finally got around to taking pictures of my Lelah top! Here they are...sorry I look so down, I am dealing with one hell of a cold and just got home from work....I added straps because it looks better with them...they are just crochet chains with double the yarn. If I don't want the straps, I can push them inside the top and it can be strapless...

I added short rows so that the top fits really well. Here's a pic of the slope of it....


I also finished my Drops swing jacket....and I love it! Next time though, I am going to make a size smaller.....so that it fits even better...

It's very warm and comfortable...I wish I could have found better buttons, but the black ones work as well.

Updates

It's been a little while since I blogged about my latest crafty doings....I am pretty close to being finished with the Drops 103-1 Swing Jacket. I just need to finish the second sleeve and then sew the whole thing up and do the collar. I am currently looking for buttons to put on the jacket. I am probably going to put up pics of my completed Lelah....and of the jacket sometime in the beginning of the week (Tuesday-ish). :)

Lelah's DOne!

I finished my Lelah top yesterday...kind of. I need to get my sewing machine out and sew the elastic ends together and then sew the casing shut. I love the way it looks...debating on if and how I am going to add straps. I can't wait to take a picture of the top and show what it looks like. I also started the 103-1 Drops Pattern that everyone at Ravelry is loving right now. It's a chunky/fast knit that I should be able to get done very very soon.

Tomorrow I have to work on my grandmother's birthday gift. I think I am going to make some earrings for her. I am not sure what color and what style, but I know that she will love them!

A Little Project Update

I finished my Drop Stitch Lace Tank about a week ago...here's what it looks like. It only cost me around $10...:) I got these great flower buttons that just finish it off!

I love this top....it looks great when I actually do my hair and stuff....

I am also working on my Lelah Top....it's coming along nicely....Here's a nice little photo of just the lace...I had only done about 4 repeats of the pattern at the time that I took this photo

I am MUCH further along....working on the top part that is all in stockinette stitch. I can't wait to be done and that should happen rather soon as this is such a quick knit!

I have also joined the Clapotis band wagon....working on one and it's coming along nicely as well...here's a picture of it

I am much further along here as well...I took all these pics a few weeks ago...:)
