Work In Progress : Striped blue top

Do you remember the knitted blue top Rose Mac Gowen was wearing ? I've been working on it on and off since I completed the "gauge" and had almost one third completed ... I went for a corset-like naked back top.

I hesitated because I didn't know if I would make increases (so that my gigantic boobs would fit comfortably in) or not, and weither they should be visible or not, dramatic or not.... I eventually decided for non-dramatic visible increases.

I was fairly content with the result when...

Follow up:

I noticed I would not have enough of yarn (again). I thought I actually had 6 more bobbins, but they are not the same colour. So I shifted from Bouton d'orFlash "crystal" to Bouton d'or Flash "cirrus"...

I just hope the difference won't show too much. As you can see, the two yarns do not have the same shine. I keep my fingers crossed and I hope the green stipes will help.

Update: a few days later...

I have now crocheted three rows in "cirrus" and although the difference is not blatant, it does show a little bit, both regarding the colour and the feel of it... Well, never mind. I've been working on that one for the past two months and I'm not going to frog it. N. O. W. A. Y. ! I'll wear it anyway.
