Finally, I finished it!!!

Remember my never-ending free crochet project I posted last year? Well, after a long work during the three last summer holidays , I’ve FINALLY managed to finish it!!!

I don’t know if it’s good or not, I have seen it so much, that I’m not able to make any judgement at all on it. It’s asymmetrical and totally freestyle, just as I had planned it to be. Ok, initially I wanted into make it with sleeves, but I ‘ve quitted the idea quite fast, as I noticed how complicated it really is to free-crochet curved surfaces that fit exactly as you want them to…

So, this is it:

Simple grey dress

Here is one of the very few projects, that I’ve managed to finish this summer: a crochet lace dress, inspired by the stitches in “Crochet Lace Innovations” by Doris Chan.

I used a quite fine yarn and, following the advice of Doris Chan, a crochet hook one or two sizes above the usually recommended one. This makes it quite airy and easy to fit!

Green for the spring!

As the weather turns warmer I decided to invest some time for spring / summer dresses! I had this project longer in mind. But I was surprised, how fast it goes!

More cowls

Here are some versions of the eyelet cowl (Vogue Knitting Magazine, Holiday 2009 issue) pattern for cowls, which proved very easy and practical!
