Donna's Thong (hehe)

[DawnsRays]

I meant her BOOK ! thong! Here is my version. This is a great pattern and works up so quick! I shortened mine so I only chained about 110. I added a store bought tassel.

 

 

p.s, please don't kick my butt

for the play on words, Donna

[Suebee42]

Very nice!

 

Here's my first one:

 

I think I am going to add some sort of beaded dangle above the tassel on future attempts... I always have to tweak! LOL!

[NancyCA]

They are both wonderful!

[faithpa76]

Beautiful!! Those are so neat!

[rascal]

Nice job both of you! Dar

[Guest minwifeof4boys58]

What sort of thread do you use for these? Is there a pattern?... I probably can figure out how to do it somewhat by looks... but how about hook size? My brain is on minimum function these days...

<span style="font-family:comic sans ms; color:purple;">Very very nice! I <img border=0 src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/heartpump.gif" /> bookmarks of any sort and the book thong I was ROAK'd with now resides in whatever current book I'm reading. I think I'm going to start making these for friends. The few fully crocheted ones I've made make people nervous I think...my mom said "What? Put those in books and let them get all wrinkly?" lol.</span>

[Donna]

Wow, wow! Those are beautiful, Dawn and Suebee! :wow I'm so impressed!

 

Lea, my pattern is here: Book Thong.

 

LOL, Dawn, no prob with the play on words! I probably shouldn't say this, but I will... I had considered it calling the pattern Blue Moon Book Thong, partially because the beads were blue but also for the play on words. I kill myself, LOL!!! :rollin :rollin :rollin

I'd like to encourage all of the thong crocheters :hee to hop on over to the Crochet me forum and post pics of your completed book thongs! :cheer2 Kim's got a special forum over there for Crochet me FOs.

[LadyyOftheOak]

Aww very nice Love them!!

[HollyM]

I've jumped on the bandwagon and made 4 so far <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/bounce012.gif" />

 

I have to do the finish work on 3 of them, so pictures will be coming later. <img border=0 src="http://img28.photobucket.com/albums/v84/crochetville/photos.gif" />

 

Let me tell you though, I tried to do one with black thread....big mistake!!!! I've never had a problem seeing stiches and such, but that sucker was impossible! The chain was no problem, the slip stitches were another story entirely. I had to frog it. I might try again tomorrow in natural light, I have some beads that would look awesome with the black.

I plan on making these for gifts too. I just need to go and get the beads. I have the thread in all different colors. It should be interesting to mix & match beads with it.

 

You all did such great jobs with yours. I only hope that mine will turn out just as well!

[HollyM]

Hmmm, that sounded more melodic in my head.

 

Anyway, let's see if my first attempt at thumbnailing works

 

Answer...no... so here's a regular picture

I'll try figuring out the thumbnailing tomorrow.

[Guest ParchedWhisper]

those look like such fun to make! and all the ones done so far are beautiful.

[Donna]

Beautiful, Holly!

[DawnsRays]

Those all look great Holly! I like the red one (second from the right) the best. That teardrop bead is cool.
