Pineapple Lace Top

The original pattern was designed for a toddler using a clover JP#2 crochet hook. My friend Kim has shown me some FOs crochetted by bloggers, some made it a kid wear, yet some made it an adult one using larger size crochet hook. All these garments have very elegant style that I hardly could resist, especially in such a humid summer time, what could be more suitable than a crocht wear? :)

Therefore, Kim and I decided to make it as our small knit along.

Yarn:pink purple cotton yarn bought from a yarn stand in Taipei. The stand owner is called Mrs. Tseng, she's famous among knit bloggers. It was my first time to buy yarns from her, and the experience was quite pleasant. Mrs. Tseng told me she's been selling yarns for more than 30 years, seems like she's also an experienced knitter cos she would tell me which type of yarn goes to which specific pattern...

Tools: Clover JP#3 crochet hook

Pattern:Sheep House



The finished Pineapple Lace Top. It's better to wear a camisole inside, the drapping has made the garment a lovely taste!

How the beautiful pineapple pattern glittering through the sunshine.

Three buttons used on front top, it looks good as well without buttons up.

Buttons up. It's better to wear jeans instead, isn't it! :)

Green Mango Bolero



Having struggled with the crochet project of Romantic Wave Bolero (浪漫波浪小外套) for more than three weeks, I decided to shift to another project-the Green Mango Bolero (綠色情人果).

The outcome is fabulous indeed! I did not follow the pattern exactly, the little Nupp stitches were missed and I've added the lengh of the bolero because I am just not used to wear a short bolero.

Tools: Clover #3 crochet hook

Yarn used: cotton yarn from 哞哞毛房. The yarn was wrapped in a center pull ball and weight roughly 220g, there's still 2/3 remaining after the bolero was done.

Pattern: Joey's KAL

線材:哞哞毛房 點點色.棉線-藍紫

I'd say that crochetting is never an easy task for me and if it's not that humid summer is coming, I'd never pick up my crochet hook for a trial... But, it's weired that once you started to crochet, you just simply fall deeply into it and never want to stop... Guess it's all because the crochet pattern is just too beautiful to have my hands off the hook. :)
