Spring/summer’2009 preview IV. Tropical Paradise Top
| October 13, 2008 | Filled under Creations |
And last one… is a Knitted Top with removable crocheted left strap (uh, forgot
to picture it with strap) and featured 3D crocheted and satin applique flowers
and leaves.
Made from Katia Bamboo, but any medium worsted yarn will work perfect.
Spring/summer’2009 preview III. Breeze Tank Corset
| October 12, 2008 | Filled under Creations |
Well… I have some doubts about this project. I wanted to make something
with motifs, kind of abstract and with white accent. But looks as I’ve chose
wrong motifs. Do you think so, right?! But, I still like the style of this top and
if I decide to write a pattern, probably I’ll try some other Pinwheel motifs or
something like this ;)
Oh and Kristin just in Love with this amazing aqua blue color. I’ve used Katia
Bamboo yarn, but this one can be easy substituted by Tahki Cotton Classic,
available in such number of colors.
Spring/summer’2009 preview II. Blossom Bolero
| October 11, 2008 | Filled under Creations |
Another project is Crocheted Bolero with short ruffles sleeves and featured
satin ribbon put all around of the body of bolero and crocheted applique on
the back.
This bolero made from Catania, which is one of my favorite so long. But Patons
Grace is pretty similar yarn and work just perfect and not least, still is available
anywhere.
