Finished a UFO today

Hooray, I finally managed to finish a UFO.
A granny square top for myself that had been sitting in my yarn box. I started it sometime about a year ago. Crocheted without a pattern using leftover yarn and leftover yarn cakes.
But see for yourself

Wishing you a happy Easter

schön geworden

It was worth it.

And soon summer will be here, and then we’ll take it out for some ice cream.

It turned out really nice

Das sieht super aus!

Liebe Andrea, 

Gratulation zu Deinem neuen Kleidungsstück. Das sind ja richtige Knallerfarben. Die werden Dir gut stehen.

Bei Deiner schlanken Figur könnte ich mir aber auch gut vorstellen, dass das Teil mit dem schwarzen unteren Rand geendet hätte. Dazu eine knackige Hose, das würde gut zusammenpassen. Falls Dir das Top dann zu kurz wäre, könnte man für den weichen Übergang noch eine schwarze Spitze anhäkeln. 

Aber das ist keine Kritik, sondern nur mein persönlicher Geschmack :-)
Dein Top ist toll! Hab viel Freude beim Tragen.  

Liebe Grüße Ina

Thank you so much for your feedback. :-)

Ina , thanks for the tip about the black lace. I should still have some lying around somewhere.
I used leftover yarn and wasn’t sure if I’d have enough for the border. It ended up being too short, so I had to keep crocheting with “light” yarn. You might think there are two pieces layered on top of each other. Oh well.

Have a lovely evening, everyone

I have the same leggings 🙂

How did you manage to get the left and right to be the same? They are two different pieces, aren’t they? 

UFOs... horror! 
I'm sure I have around 50. 
With sewing, I never even allowed myself to do that; I finish one after the other. 
I've got one on the go right now too, but for balance I've started a new one 🫣🤪.
The yarn mountains have to be reduced, right? 
But there are fabric mountains here too already, even though I only buy 50x50 cm now and then for small projects.
With fabric it's like with yarn: the right one is never there! 

I also once had a yarn cake, similar colors to yours Andrea, except instead of purple it had turquoise-blue in it. The pink always bothered me; it didn't fit the color family at all (for my taste). But it's like you say, otherwise it would be too short. 

Nice nails, by the way ♡
