Patricia Pepe Skirt

Just a few news! As you can see I moved, I am also trying to save all the comments made on the blogger-blog, not an easy task because I messed up once... I also joined this Crochet along. Loads of fun! :crochethook:

So I went through my stash and found nothing satisfactory, so I'm buying some (more) yarn this afternoon, mercerized cotton or rayon, I'm not sure yet, fitting for a number 3 hook (that would be US size D).
This morning, I wrote down the scheme and side notes, because I seldom crochet at home, and when I crochet I'm not in front of my computer.
Can't wait to start ! :crochethook:

Finally got the yarn : bamboo from "la droguerie". It is too expensive for me to tell the price, I hope it's worth it!

White granny tank top

This is something I did a few years ago, while I was looking for the perfect crocheted summer top.

It's a pattern from Phildar Spécial Crochet printemps-été 1999 “aux couleurs de l’été", which is a very good pattern catalogue, loaded with elegant and colourful little things, mainly tops and shirts.

Yarn : I think it's a bland of cotton and acrylic, it's softly shiny; 6 skeins says the pattern, I don't remember how much of it I used either. I would say 250g.
Crochet hook crochet n°3, back in those days I would use those with a plastic handle, I broke most of them because I used to crochet too tight.
Design : simple but effective. Read more »

A Cajube

I've just finished the shawl I was working on as part of a French Crochetalong, except I didn't make a shawl (God I cannot make myself follow a pattern!), I crocheted in the round and made a kind of capelet.

I call it my cajube :

  • CA stands for CAPELET,
  • JU stands for JUPE (the french for skirt),
  • and B stands for BUSTIER (which is the French for tube top)

When doing so I thought to myself hey! this would be another cool way to use a doily pattern!

What is a cajube?

cajube

Well it's just a tube with a kind of closing in the front (draw string or buttons or whatever you fancy) that you can wear either as

  1. a capelet, or "poncho" (the dreaded one),
  2. a skirt,
  3. a strapless top, or even strapless mini-dress,
If you choose a lacy stitch pattern you might just have to provide a lining for the sake of decency.

How to do it?

  • Crocheted!

  • Is it knitted? Nope! Crocheted! Crochet isn't just for grannies, doilies and floppy funky scarves. I am - fairly - under 50, I have a crochet hook and a yarn ball handy in my purse and I like decorating my shoulders better than my sofa.
