Just Trying to Catch Up

It seems that all I do lately...is try to get caught up. I have put my Etsy shop on vacation for a little while. Currently, I am crocheting a little at night and on the weekends. I'm trying to work out a schedule since I started my new job. Crocheting has been a lesser priority. My WIP is a bikini top. I get lots of orders for these in the spring and summer.


Sorry about the photos...black is not the best to photograph.


This is an order I have been struggling to finish. Hopefully, it will be finished tomorrow. I have 3 more orders to finish after this one. In the recent past, before starting my new job, I could whip out an order in a couple of days. But not now. I get frustrated with myself, because I feel like my customers are waiting, waiting, and waiting. I hope they understand. When I finish this top it should look like this...


I wish I could share some new projects, but maybe in a couple of weeks I'll be able to. Since my shop is closed for a couple of weeks, you can find this pattern here on Ravelry.

I hope you all have a great weekend!

    Such pretty bikini tops. Give me a year to 18 months and I might be able to fit back into one! Pregnancy and breastfeeding are death to the bustline!

    I looooove these. I made myself a few back in the day, when I still wore bikinis! What fiber do you use?

      Hi,
      Sorry so long for the response. I usually use Tahki Cotton Classic. It's the best for bikinis

    I just discovered your blog a week ago. Please don't feel guilty with all the responsibilities you have to juggle. I have made two ombre
    baskets this week. They are so fun to make and so satisfying to to look at when they are finished. Thank you so much for your
    inspiration.

      Thanks so much, I wish I could get rich doing this, but it's not gonna happen. It takes too long to make one to make any real money. I'll go over and check you out now:D
