So maybe three years ago now, I crocheted the Boatneck Top w/ Kimono Drop Sleeve by Kristen Stein and loved every second of it. Took it with me on the bus every morning, made friends with the designer on Instagram, I was SO into this pattern I can’t even tell you!

And then after wearing it once, I lost it. Literally no idea how. We’ve turned the house upside down more than once looking for it, but I finally had to admit it’s gone.

So after a lot of procrastination, it’s time for v2.0. And I really need to have this done quite quickly because we’re going on a cruise in August and I have a TON of stuff I want to make.

Therefore, public accountability post! Started this last night and we’re 4 motifs in to a 26-motif top. Since lace looks like nothing until it’s blocked I’ve draped it on the dummy to attempt to give you a clue 😅

Let’s go, motif 5!

    Update time! Front now has a whole second row of motifs, and the back has a row and a half that it didn’t have in the first pic. 14 motifs out of 26!

    I’m actually thinking I might leave it at the two rows, add the border, block it less vigorously than originally intended and wear it as more of a cropped thing, can’t decide. Hmm.

    Ignore the questionable pairing with this half-sewn skirt btw, just couldn’t be bothered to take it off the dummy 😄

    That is indeed an awesome pattern. And this one should come up even better than your lost one. Hey, hey! Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the old one turned up exactly the same day you finish this one? And will you be so kind to let me know if this actually happens? :D
