Lavender cardigan

I have started this cardigan last year and finished it two months ago. Finally, I have photos of it.

The pattern is from PierrotYarns Patterns -29-5 Crochet Cardigan available as a free pattern.

Yarn: Unitas Hana lavender 100% cotton
Hook: 2, 5 mm

Of course, it always happens to me, I haven't had enough yarn for the edge.

I bought one more skein same color but different dye lot, so the edge is little darker.Except that, I am very pleased with this pattern.

I haven't made any alteration, written pattern is my size so it was very easy to follow crochet chart.More same cardigans on Reverly.

 :)

Little black dress

One more summer dress.

This LBD is combination of crochet cotton lace and black cotton batiste, same one I have used for black skirt.

Pattern is from Burda Style 5/2013 model 102 -Tank Dress.I replaced strap pieces with crochet lace straps and added crochet border at the bottom of the dress.

The pattern for the crochet edge is from white cardigan I have made three years ago. 

Hook size: 2mm

Cotton thread: Janja -Unitas

Easy sewing and I enjoyed crocheting this lovely pattern.

The Russian winter

This is the one of the  most used free shawl patterns on Ravelry.

Originally it is from Lion Brand LB Collection OnlinePatterns -South Bay Shawlette. And I had to make it.

I know, I don't need more shawls and hats, but I couldn't resist.

This is so simple and easy project. I finished it in one day.

The pattern is written for advanced intermediate skill level but I think that advanced beginner can manage it. Quick and simple.

If you use mohair yarn as I did, the shawlette will be so soft and light, like a snowflake.

Size: 60cm x113cm

Yarn: 1 skein = 546.0 yards (499.3m) 

 Angora Gold Simli –Alize

(75% Acrylic10% Mohair10% Wool5% Metallic)

Hook size: 4mm

I added silver glass beads at the border. 

The first association when I finished it was Russian winter. :)

I am a big fan of Russian composers and writers, but that is the other story.

So, I will leave you now with this waltz. Enjoy!
