My girlfriend, Patty and I did an exchange today! She brought me belated birthday stash!!! Paton's Grace, J P Coats Royale Gemini Double Crochet (I love the color of the green and blue varigated), and a great stash bag and a beautiful handmade card! And I gave her a going on vacation Carousel Tank with matching necklace and earrings!!! I loved it, she loved it, we were all lovy!I started the tank last night after downloading the granny square of the month. My group, Granny Squares, on Ravelry decided we needed to do a square of the month! I cna't believe it took me about 8 hours to make it! Well, this is the square and what I did with it last night and this morning! It inspired me to make a matching necklace and earring set for her, she's such a doll!!! Plus, she loves my dog, Tipsy and Tipsy adores her for faithfully bringing her treats!!!!! We love you Patty!!! So I entitled the jewelry, Carousel Set!!!
The Carousel Tank is based on the Carousel Square pattern by by Priscilla Hewitt ©1999. I had to modify the square, I did not think it was written correctly. I really admire Pricilla's work!
Theyarn is TLC Wiggles in red and yellow. The yarn is a bit difficult to crochet, but I think it was very suitable for this style of garment!

That tank came out so cool-lucky pal!
Looks as though you both did well. I love the necklace set you made your your buddy - that came out so nice.
There is a granny square group - I have to go check this out.
Wow, I love that tank. What a clever idea to put a granny square on it, and it's such a pretty square! The jewelry is lovely, too.
