Star Purse
“Sac étoile”
Something I forgot to show you, a purse I did as a swatch for the blue kimono jacket.

I just bought the new katia “special crochet” n°1, and I am disappointed.
Most of the patterns are knit with crochet inserts, not a “special crochet” so to speak, most of them are also unwearable, like “oh! look at me, I’m wearing a dishcloth” or “look! I’ve got a bra!"… And some are plain UGLY.
This really pisses me off, because that makes for the bad reputation of crochet : poor designs. It’s not about the hook, it’s about the design! The hook is just a tool. Blame the right culprit.
Ok I was really pissed and maybe I overreacted.
But who wouldn’t after paying 12€ ( = 16 US dollars !) for a crochet magazine loaded with poor designed knitwear, modelled by I-m-so-skinny-I-might-be-blown-away-if-you-sigh girls (I’m so fed up with this, guys, why can’t we see real-life curvy women modelling the garments we want to make? )?
And this…
THIS !?
This is unbearable. UN.BEA.RABLE !
As for the other patterns, well, see by yourself…
