Frith Tester Highlight

This is the second Frith Top made by @marialeah_pena and I had to share it as it has such a cool feature. The yoke part is a separate piece that you can slip on over the top of a vest version of Frith. I think this is an awesome modification because you can make your yoke as deep or shallow as you like without affecting the rest of the top.
Such a delicate and pretty colour scheme!

The Celestial Summer Top pattern is coming tomorrow Monday 22nd🤩

Please enjoy these gorgeous Celestial tops made by my amazing testers in the meantime 💖

@oon.ishq made a dreamy Celestial in cream that has modified side panels for a better fit for a longer top.

@froggiescrochetcorner2023 created a beautiful rose garden version with this jacquard print yarn. The colour pooling over the different stitch patterns is fabulous.

@marialeah_pena cleverly salvaged this deep blue beauty of a Celestial after the original instructions led to one of the panels being too small. See if you can spot the clever section!

@deannamayne made this perfect blue skies Celestial. The sleeves have been extended and look so cute and frilly. I adore all the blues in this top.

Ice and Fire! Today we have a couple of Altairs and a hybrid Aquila/Altair from my wonderful testers 💖💖💖

_.wish_if_you_can._ (unable to tag - sorry) - We start off with this very angelic white and cream Altair. What a beauty!
This Altair perfectly shows off the texture of the waffle panels. I am stunned at the length of these sleeves - especially knowing how long it takes to do that stitch pattern. The back panel is longer than the front panel adding incredible volume to the sleeves! And what an interesting idea! One I would love to try!

@marialeah_pena - The first Altair! Made, before Altair even existed, from an afterthought jotted down at the back of the Aquila pattern. What a brave lady!
How beautiful is this top! Maria Leah took inspiration from Roman soldiers for the colour palette of this top. Ancient Rome heavily influenced my prototype Aquila so I think this is pretty awesome. I love the change in direction of the linen stitch on the sleeve panels and the lower part of the body - so much so that I made half of my Altair sleeves sideways too.

@igirlstyarn - You should see the ends that came off this top! In fact, I think you can see them on Jenny’s grid! 😓
What a hot flaming beauty this Aquila/Altair hybrid top is!
The central panel of this top is Aquila’s Tunisian crochet panel and I believe the sleeves are Altair’s linen stitch panels.

ORIGINAL PRICE: 11 USD or 550 PHP

Thank you guys so so much for the love over Love Hug! I think this is one of my proudest design! It is a cute, sexy, AND dramatic shrug! Bringing you the best of 3 worlds. The cute heat design pop out once the shrug is laid flat, or when it is paired with its Love Hug Top. The sexy comes from how the curvature of the heart accentuates the breast. The long dramatic back panel of the heart gives it so much drama and sass while being a bit conservative at the same time.

Additionally, what's so cool about this pattern is it comes with its own CALCULATOR! So you can just sit back, enjoy the process, and crochet hassle-free without the stress of doing all the calculations.

I just want to share that after almost a year of crochet block, I was able to come up with this Shrug out of nowhere. I thought I wouldn't be able to create anymore because I've lost motivation but it turns out I just needed some rest! For those who are experiencing burn out, please don't be frustrated. Take a well deserve rest as well. ❤

Lastly, much love to my lovely testers. They were so helpful throughout this journey. I'm so grateful for them! <3

I am excited and nervous. I hope you guys love the pattern. 🤧
In the meantime, more testers!! I love love how each and every one of them has their own unique style! Still, with the love hug, they are still able to complement each other!

Just like how the love hug Shrug has its own complementary love hug top! A free pattern you'll be able to get once you purchase the love hug pattern!
