Crochet
My new mannequin
This post is actually not about the jacket, which is an older project from the Rebecca magazine (issue nr 43, model 33), but: I finally own a mannequin torso, I ‘m so happy about it 🙂
I was dreaming of it since a long time! There are quite a lot of different versions available at the moment; I saw some at Nanu Nana and at Xenos, mine is from the last one.
Isn’t it wonderful?
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!
