My foot

This really really cool and fun project was accidentally discovered and created by a beginner crocheter who posted it on Craftsters, I tried to recreate it, but I skip the "chain two" part for a more solid look, and I also tried to make the toe size smaller and smaller... I wrote it down and got permission to post it here!

here's how it goes

1 - chain 10
2 - turn, 1hdc in second chain from hook, one hdc in every following chain stitch,
3 - turn, 1hdc in every hdc and between every hdc except the 3 last hdc and 2 last spaces between, finish with 3dc and 2hdc
4 - turn, chain three, crochet 5 dc tog in the last hdc of the previous row (bobble), chain three, slip stitch in same stitch as bobble, slip stitch in next stitch, chain three, crochet 4 dc tog in the same stitch (bobble 2), chain three, slip stitch in same stitch as bobble 2, slip stitch in next stitch, chain three, crochet 5 hdc tog in the same stitch (bobble 3), chain three, slip stitch in same stitch as bobble 3, slip stitch in next stitch, chain two, crochet 3 hdc tog in the same stitch (bobble 4), chain three, slip stitch in same stitch as bobble 4, chain 2, crochet 3 hdc tog in same stitch as bobble 4 (bobble 5), chain two, slip stitch in same stitch as bobble 4 and 5, fasten and cut yarn.

Tada!

Sorry, those are kinda blurry, I was so excited :woohoo:

Victoria too

I've finished (on the third of May... well to tell the truth, the slip and the belt are still missing but hey! who cares? not me) my second take to the Victoria's secret skirt.
You can find about the first one here. The pattern is no longer available on crochetville.org, but I found it over there... Shh!. It's a secret!
This time I almost didn't modify the pattern, I just chose to repeat the lys flower of the second diagram into the third one (I really didn't like the solid pattern of trebles), I left aside the last row of double crochets, in lieu of which I did a discreet row of slip stitches, and this time again, I crocheted cables between the leaves of the bottom of the skirt.
I am de_ligh_ted with the outcome.

For this one I wanted to experiment with color and create a subtle gradation from pink to off white.

Still trying to get rid of the 24 pounds of acrylic yarn I so recklessly e-bayed and thus making way for new auctions playfully experiment with yarn and color, I thought I could try to mimic Phil’onde by Phildar (alas discontinued).

bikini top 1

I tried the start-with-a-square-method (which I consider being a simple variation of the crochet-an-L-method)

I tried with cotton thread and a 3 mm hook
I had just a leftovers so I couldn't go far, I think I reached a 34B size starting chaining 20 for the begining square.

There are two ways of putting it on depending on the position of the lacy edge.
There's just a ribbon left to weave in the lacy part and tie between the cups.
I think I'll present it to my sister (lucky skinnier her).

All I have to do is find my starting chain... :idea3:

  • 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.
