Crochet Stuff

I got these from a private swap with Barb from Canada. (Sorry for the late posting...) Thank you Barb! I love the cotton yarns, the dishcloth and the card you sent :D I love the soft, natural look of the cotton and also its lovely variegated shades!


I bought this Japanese crochet book in Hongkong. I wasnt able to find other crafty stuff except this, when we chanced upon a Japanese bookstore :p
This had several crochet tops and a few knitted ones. A bit outdated, but I could use it for inspiration in coming up with my own designs ;)



Here's a sleeveless top with crochet trim I bought in HK. I intended to buy a crochet cardigan or bolero, but the ones I wanted were too pricey, and the other ones were made from itchy yarn. We really didnt have much time to go around and shop, so this was the only crochet item I got. This was made from fine thread.(For a closer view of the stitches click here.)




I got this skirt from a store which sells mostly handmades. There were a lot of crocheted items, but as I mentioned, were too pricey. This skirt was handwoven from India.
I talked a little with the storeowner, I asked her if she might be interested to buy my crochet pieces. I'm not really sure she understood me well as she doesnt speak english fluently. I got her email and intend to show her some pics of my finished items.



This is the 4th necklace of the same design from Rachel's patterns. I gave another one out today, to my friend Jeng, when she came over. She picked the pink one too!
