Short but sweet, this one, but i really DO want to show off this creation: Can everyone please appreciate my modelling moves as well… Well, what can i say – the rationale for making this jumper was to create something rainbow that i can actually wear…  Because i have been looking at Instagram and just generally looking at pictures of crochet and jumpers and thanks to @bohemianstyle_crochet and their Instagram inspiration, i started convincing myself i do indeed need to make myself a jumper out of crochet (considering how much crochet items i make and how much i love … Continue reading →

Rainbow fluffy meringue stained glass crochet pentagonal sleeveless top. aka Colour injection It is rainbow because it has bright rainbow colours in it, it is very fluffy because of the pattern and i have added some extra fluffiness by increasing the size of the picot stitch, and stained glass crochet was something i wanted to try for a while, so i have … Continue reading →
