Small Cardigan

Yarn: 100%cotton
Tool: addi#5+ addi#3 circular
Pattern: Modified pattern




This small cardigan is original a pullover. I like the pattern, easy and good looking but I usually wear sleeveless dress with a small cardign so pullover for me is not practical.Hence,I decided to modify it a small cardigan.


The pattern was drawn again according to my size.Because the pattern is easy, I don't spend much time to get it off the needle. And finally, it turns out quite good.

Purple Red Crochet Lace Cardigan

This is my new finished small lace crochet cardigan, which was made from purple red color cotton. I modified much of the pattern, shortened the body length and change the hem design. This pattern is only two pineapple patterns in the shoulder part. For body part, only chains are crocheted. It looks easy and it is. That's why I chosed it. It only tooks me four nights to finish. For a crocheter,like me, doesn't have much time in knittng and crocheting. This pattern is undoubtedly a good choice!




It is really my style. Lately I bought a stripe dress and needed a small cardigan to cover my thick shoulder and strong arm. This model is my colleauge, who is thiner than me so this samll cardigan looks a bit bigger on her but it fits me well.

Today I put on it to my office. One of my colleagues likes it very much and asked me if I could crochet one for her.She would pay me.That really bothers me because I don't knit or crochet for money; it is just my habit. Finally, I said "sorry" to her.

Crochet Lace Garment Finished

This crochet lace garment is finished. I didn't spend much time on it. Crochet is never a problem for me. Since I was little, my mom taught me crochet. And I like it .

This work just needs two same crochet pieces connecting together and then it is done. I thought it was easy in the beginning.However, the pattern was drew a bit complicated. Sometimes I had to stop to check out the pattern , and I did ripe out several times


I like how it came out. It is really my type. In hot summer here, this crochet garment would be very useful for me.

Fun photos of my modle when snapshot.

Unfinished Lace Crochet

This is the crochet lace I am working right now. These photos were taken while the first piece were finished.This crochet lace work needs to finish two same pieces and connect them together. Then it is done. Easy and fun!!

I got this pattern from my knitting teacher and also bought this linen and cotton blending yarn from her. Acutally grey is not my favorite color and this is my first time to try grey. Though I still not quite like it, hope that trying new color might give me surprise.

It is not hard to crochet this piece but when about to finish the second piece, I found that one raw was skiped by me. I want to neglect it because am lazy to go back. But finally I still decide to go back to the skiped raw and start again. Soon it is going to be off the hook. I will post the finished lace topover very soon!

Pink Lace

Yarn: 100% light pink silk 7 balls

Tool: addi #5 60cm circular , Clover crochet hook #4

Pattern: Modified by me from a Japanese pattern



This is a pattern modified by me from a Japanese pattern. I made the length longer than the pattern called for. The neck hem, arm hem and down hem are also changed to crochet finish. Now in Taiwan,it is popular to put on garment longer than butt . So I intend to knit this pink lace longer.

As you can see, this pattern is easy- just repeats the pattern to your desired length. Then it is done! Easy and fun to knit. I used 7 silk yarn balls to finish it. Really expensive!! But it is worth the price and the labor. It comes out just what I want!

Gauge

These are gauges of my new knitting. The new summer pullover would combine knitting and crocheting. So I need two gauges,crocheting and knitting ones. Egypt Cotton yarn is my choice because summer is coming.

This is the V neck crocheting. After the V neck stitches are decreased , this crocheting edge would be sewed to the V neck. Not only V neck but also short sleeves hem and bottom hem would be crocheted. So this is a project combining knitting and crocheting.

This is body part gauge.It is original from a pattern book . Though cotton is good for summer, sometimes it is still hot to put on cotton garment. So I hope my nwe summer knitting would have some eyelets to feel nice and cool but not so many small "holes" in my body.Hence I do some modifications, lessen the eyelets.As you can see, this gauge is very like stockin st except every 10 rows have to make eyelets. It is easy and fast to knit it. Now I've finished the back piece. Soon I could finish this project.

Cashmere Scarf Part II

This scarf was knitted with 100% cashmere yarn. It is for a colleague's mother. He paid me to knit for his mother. I used 4 balls of cashmere yarn. The pattern was from a 1000- patterned book. I choosed this pattern for his mother easy to maintain.

Thanks for my colleague to be my beautiful model.
