Do you remember the knitted blue top Rose Mac Gowen was wearing ? I've been working on it on and off since I completed the "gauge" and had almost one third completed ... I went for a corset-like naked back top.

I hesitated because I didn't know if I would make increases (so that my gigantic boobs would fit comfortably in) or not, and weither they should be visible or not, dramatic or not.... I eventually decided for non-dramatic visible increases.

I was fairly content with the result when...

Crochet is one of the most widely spread textile art form in the world. Most cultures have developed their own technics and have their own traditional crocheted items. I recently stumbled upon this inuit nassak, it's a quite recent tradition, a crocheted hat with a colorful pattern.

I'm having a very quiet Sunday, which is a good thing, as I can have a little
rest before I go back to work (my holiday time is over). We had a little bit
of snow this morning, but it melted as soon as it touched the ground, however
my daughter was very happy to see the flakes swirling in front of her, fun time.

The weather is still cold, colder than what we're used to here in the French
Midi, it reminded me that I should finish the few warm-wintery-things I started
so that they could be useful, instead of gathering dust in my drawers.

I have a few works in progress down there, WIPs as my fellow crochetville pals
say.

I thought it would be nice if I had a WIP bar too, but then, which one to chose,
that is the question... There are many, each one is different, each one is interesting
in its own way.
