crochet bikini top warnings
Sent at 6:46 PM July 23, 2010
About 10 years ago a good friend and I skipped work and went to Zuma beach. The weather was cold and windy, so we decided to go back to the San Fernando valley where it was over 105 and cool off in my pool.
When we got home, i saw that she was wearing the crochet bikini top I had made a few years earlier for her teen age daughter. I made it from beautiful black cotton yarn that I had in my stash for a while.
Let me just tell you that I am experienced crocheter and the halter and back ties were strong - at least 2 or 3 rows of single crochet.
When we jumped in the pool, the top immediately stretched. Em reached to pull it up and the left strap broke in her fingers. I started laughing.
She tried to pull the remaining two pieces to tie them together and they shredding in her hands.
By then we were both hysterical. I waded over to help her and while she held up one cup, i tried to fix the other.
Well, before a minute was up, there were a million small pieces of black cotton floating in the pool and two hysterical ( 40 and 50year old) women dying of laughter.
Today, at least 10 years from the “incident” , we were again floating like logs in my pool and laughing about that day and ssoooo thankful that the “incident” occurred in the privacy of my backyard instead of Zuma.
Since then I have made her more crochet gifts - always something to be worn OVER other clothing.

Currently I am working on a bikini top using J.P. Coats Nylon Crochet Thread. We'll see how that goes and I'll post the results asap.
As for now, I advise wearing the cotton crochet bikini tops for sun bathing only. (They would make an interesting tan pattern on one's boobies, right? ha ha!
