Hello everybody,
My HOTH - hot off the hook today is this personalized summer shirt of our 19th grandson Baby Earth.
Note: I was having a hard time snapping a good shot with this cutie boy.
Last month my sixth daughter together with her 5 kids stayed with us. She helped with the daily household chores and watched the house while we were at the hospital when hubby's blood sugar shoot up, last two weeks. At least the plants were watered and the dogs taken cared off while we were away.
We are currently under hot summer weather, about 31掳c daily and notice Baby Earth's shirt
are all with sleeves! Poor baby...ahehehe his mommy no time to buy sando or sleeveless shirt. Crochetist grandma @jurich60 to the rescue!
Last wednesday I started crocheting his prototype shirt. With a peach 4 ply soft indophil and 3.5 crochet hook, I started 22 twin double crochet(dc) foundation line for the body following his old shirt as my pattern and just the simple granny stitch.
When I finished the stitch almost at the underarm, my AHA moments occured and decided to crochet letters E A R T H, his name. I right away scribbled the letters using 5 stitch. I can't find the crossstitch paper, so, I just imagine it. Perfect!
Continued making the neckline...
This afternoon at last the shirt is done. I waited for baby Earth to wake up and fitted.
Although as the maker,am not satisfied with my work, at least it fits him well.
Thanks for dropping by...
Thank you @crosheille and with her Administrators

Note: this is my 3rd attempt writing the draft, I haven't save it, always deleted...very very sleepy.
